DIY High Flow Hot-End

I don't really understand this yet but it looks interesting: https://twitter.com/CNC_Kitchen/status/1462104245340188672

Hi Mike

 

If you’ve not seen it already, check out Stefan’s previous video review of the bondtech CHT LICENCED nozzle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNJdv5bFGOg&t=2s

 

The principle is increasing the surface area over which the end of the filament is heated, without lengthening the melt zone.  It’s really very clever and one of those ‘of course’ innovations.

 

Stefan’s hot end is not as good but he’s proving that even blocking the filament flow with a blunt round wire, more heat via more surface area still overcomes and increases peak flow rate.

Hello Alex, An interesting summary of recent designs, thanks for suggesting it. Funny thing is that I visited his Twitter from a link about scientists disagreeing about how electricity flows in a conductor, after all we were taught it shows you cannot believe all you were told: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHIhgxav9LY
