Hi totanoid!
Very interesting comment you make here.
The geometry is similar, there are adjustments of ca 50 microns.
Ideally, the chamber should have an inverted cone to facilitate Atomic better, but
that would offer a very tight envelope for the low temperature retraction, and also
make the manufacture much more difficult.
It is possible, of course to have a "straight" (grmf..) conic shape, but then the friction at pull-out
time is even less than with the inline walls currently implemented inthe E3D nozzles. Theres is less friction at pull-out with conic shape because the material moves not only laterally but also away from the wall, leaving residue because of less friction.
I have worked on the problem by applying a top secret, unspeakable, unmentionable, nondisclosure-able
procedure (let me call it that; a procedure), and with the help from Anders on the geometry, to ensure that Atomic will
work better!
It is unclear when they will ship.
3Dnerd: Thanks a lot! Every suggestion I get which I CHOOSE to implement, is rewarded with a 3dSolex 040mm Nozzlem when they arrive. You are on the list too!
This is my first try at a webshop, and second for a web page, and need some input!
I have gotten a lot of feedback; all correct! But I gave decided that it will never have a conform look, and we dont supply conform products.. so it will look a little "silly" maybe and nerdy.. who knows...

The web shop is "barely" up and running!
Thank you for your patience.
If you have ordered parts AND paid, you do not have to do anything.
If you have ordered ( you are waiting ) and have NOT paid, I hope you
will place it through the store.
I am quite new at making web pages, so I hope it works!

Bonjour, pm_dude!
So cool that you are having fun with "The Olsson Block"!
I am not sure about the calculation, I leave it to you and gr5 (who is one of the 3 authorities in here on that matter),
But looks really interesting!

Generally, "under extrusion" is not solved by increasing flow rate setting, except for very special filaments like for
example Woodfill.
More often "under extrusion" is a symptom of one or more of many other things like faulty hardware settings, to high speed, too low temperature, problem with feeder, problem with filament, problem with bowden tube, problem with hot end, problem with hot end couplings, nozzle, and more..
-
jweaver: If you take the consequence of what Daid writes you can look at it like this:
You have a certain diameter of filament, yes? Set, and use that setting.
When you need to change the flow, then change the flow.
Although you will probably be able to balance your suggestion out in your head, it will probably
mess things up for you later on, in saving the different configurations or other things.
If your filament is lets say 1.75. Why would you want to configure your machine to have
a bigger gauge filament and then reduce flow to "compensate"?
Hehe.. what would the flow be if you set your filament to 10CM? 0.37%.?
No. Reco is to set the settings you know and can be sure of, then fiddle as much
as possible (I certainly do) with everything else.

Did you check heater connections on the motheboard?
Else.. I think Ill have to leave this one for gr5.
BTW; do you never sleep?
--haha

Hi twistx!
I think your sensor si fine.
Here is your problem: Due to the 3dSolex "Olsson Block"s higher mass than
the standard, the heating is a bit slower. When you lower the temp and the
heater comes on again at the target, you get a low temp "overshoot" and it takes
too much time for it to get up to your new target temp.
This is a safety feature kicking in, prenventing you from burning down the house
in case the heater spins out of control.
These rules are more relaxed in the newest firmware; http://software.ultimaker.com/current/Cura_15.02.1.exe
Download, install, connect your printer via USB and upoad the new firmware.
This should take care of it!

Without seeing pictures I guess you have too low temperature
or wrong nozzle size in slicer or clogged hot end

Quote: I just want to find out as I am planning to do some experiments with 'flow' to try and improve the situation I am suffering with, and I just wanted to find out whether these 2 settings basically do the same thing.
What is it you wish to accomplish?
-
What is your suffering..
-
Thank for the enlightenment!
Sounds really good!
-
Oh dear... it will conduct 40micro-amps at 12V.
hmm... not practical in many circuits..
How do you plan on using it?

Your DMM shows 0.307M , is that megaOhm? There is less resistance in a nasse kerze

gr5; Thanks, You are the best!

3Dnerd:
Just install The Olsson Block. When you re-attach the Hot end isolator - steel round nut, the one with the radial holes in it, make shure it is not screwed down so far that it touches the brass. You will be fine. This is not a problem.
The possible problem is removing the temp sensor. It may break if it does not come off easily.
"Our own design coming out soon Has
025.040.080.
Does that mean any of the E3D nozzle can be used with 3DSolex?
What is the difference of your nozzles compared to E3D?
You can use E3D nozzles, UMO nozzles, and other nozzles with an M6x1mm threading.
The oncoming batch of 3dSolex "The Olsson Block" will ship with E3D nozzles, which are high quality.
We are currently developing our own Nozzles, called "JETs", which will have a different geometry inside,
a lower mass and save a little build height. The engineering samples have proven to provide a
cleaner Atomic release.
It is unclear when the JETs will be available.
Atomic method: https://www.google.no/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=atomic%20method
There are discussions on the forum about it too, and slight variations.

Hi-! Its just because we drew the line.
We may carry E3d in our standard inventory and
Then maybe..
Our own design coming out soon Has
025.040.080.
Thank you

Hi!
--"-- means same as above.. the reply to question 2 is the same as to question 1.
The isolator and nozzles are sold by the same company.. shortly.
www.3dverkstan.se have an incredibly well developed customer service department,
and one of the hottest contributors to this forum (iroberti) is perhaps most famous for his
alternative filament extruder and printing advice..
3dSolex will not carry 0.6 nozzles, you can buy that from http://shop.deltatower.ch/Extruder-und-Hotends:::7.html?MODsid=6hv44d4vmr14ect6t12a48s226
-which I recommend for their top top quality.
You could buy from E3D in UK also, they ship incredibly fast too!
3dSolex will have 0.25-0.40-0.80 nozzles only.
THIS IS A MUST STUDY, for beginners and everyone else..

It's important that the isolator touches the heater block with no gap - otherwise plastic can get in there and cause problems so you should be able to see *some* gap between the isolator nut and the isolator.
This is illogical...

---The Olsson Block is still in the making.. no exact ETA, sorry
Looks a lot like they will ship this week.
they are rolling off the mill as we speak!

UltiArjan!
Actually, I rode a whole summer in Switzerland on one of those, when I was 12!
The name 3dSolex is also inspired by this:
Used for this:
To help here, eh.. somehow...
-
So it is decided then:
3dSolex "The Olsson Block".
Thank you, what a wonderful community!

The Olsson Block!! Hope he is not blocking anything!

Id like an Ultimaker X, which can print Ultimaker 3s...

Hi,
I am also interested in this new heaterblock and new isolator.
I read a few pages of this thread, but I still do not know where to order the new heater block, here my questions:
(I live in Germany)
1. Where to order heater block and isolator?
2. Where to order the nozzles?
3. What is the price of heater / isolator?
4. Is there any (save) instruction available how to unmount the UM2 heater/isolator and mount the new heater / isolator?
5. What happens with the warranty of my UM2 if I change heater / isolator?
6. What about the settings in Cura for different nozzle sizes, what I have to consider?
Thanks for any help...
Hi 3Dnerd!
Thank you for your elaborate questions!
USA, CANADA; Ships from Boston.
Sweden, Denmark, Finland www.3dsolex.com
After March 20th: http://www.3dverkstan.se/
1. Everywhere else, http://www.3dSolex.com.
2. Nozzles same place
3. The price is 59€ for the 3dSolex Block (by Anders Olsson) incl 1 pcs high quality 0.40mm Nozzle
The I2K isolator is in pre-production (acquisition of materials, final adjustment of geometry, and available shortly. it will cost 16€.
It is on sale now!
4. This fantastic video by Mohissa:
5. You may break the temp sensor and then need a new one, strictly speaking not covered by the guarantee.
6. When you print with very small or very big (0.25-0.80) nozzles, you must consider bed-gap, no need to have a huge gap with such a tiny nozzle as 025, and vis-a-versa,
also you must consider that when printing with 0.80mm nozzle the hole is 4 times bigger in area than with 0.40. This affects print speed, extruder, need for temperature settings etc. Start slow (20mm/s) and work from there, increasing temp etc.
Dont print PLA higher than 230.
Good luck!
You need UM2 standard tool plus it comes with 2 tools needed for installing except the Torque Wrench (Design Anders) which you print yourself. Use 040 nozzle when printing it, or the "resistor wings" will not come out correctly, or at all! Lesson; in Cura, set nozzle to 025, then 080, and look at the Wrench in layer view.. funnyy!
Torque Wrench

With the small 025 nozzle you can print things like this:
With a big enough nozzle, you could print this:
Edit: The I2K is available now
Conductive Filament (ESD)
in Materials & profiles

Without seeing a picture, i think you have a small or big gap between the Teflon and the brass heater block (inside the steel coupler with the radial holes), causing filament to escape and encapsulate the nozzle area..
the conductivity of your filament is nowhere near causing trouble for the sensors at the low voltages we are speaking of here. maybe you pulled the cables while hot end cold... ?
