If you have this version, please contact 3D Solex to have a replacement shipped asap.
I have a pair of BV3's with chromey tops like that. I figured the leaking after initial installation was caused by inadequate pressure, so I just tightened the isolators and both stopped leaking. Perhaps that high pressure won't be good for the plastic couplers in the long run though. I'll contact the dealer.
These blocks print great in any case. Filament manufacturers and 3D Printing retail companies should be pushing this BV3 block hard because users like me burn through spools of filament at a much-accelerated rate after installation. Thanks for the great invention.
I had trouble using the MATCHLESS BLOCK with I2K, since they have two hard surfaces against each other. My reco is not us I2k, unless you have the V3 with a "rubbed" surface ring around the filament entry hole. Sorry, I guess this is the sort of trouble which first movers must experience... hehe.. Now; extra pressure on the Teflon stops any leaks, but CAN shorten the life of the TEFLON.. I guess...
Im using the Bondtech feeder, and with the fenomenal extra pressure it will leak between teflon and Block without extra pressure from top.
To be totally safe, stay with the UM2+ "Olsson Block" which is not known to leak in this place.
surface should be more rough!
read my mail please and try it!
I'm the reseller in the USA. The ones @chrisw have were modified by @swordriff. I actually physically brought it to Norway - @swordriff removed some chrome and then I brought it back to USA before shipping to @chrisw. However maybe he didn't remove enough? You could see some brass and some chrome at the same time like it was "half removed".
I don't understand why this makes any difference anyway. I know chrome is harder than brass but teflon is much softer than either. Why would chrome make any difference? maybe the edge is more rounded and lets a little bit of pressurized filament creep in?

Yeah right... remove it? Hah! I don't want to detach this BV3. It's working great. I'm using Bondtech feeders too, and creating lots of pressure.

Good point. Like I said, these blocks are working well for me after tightening of the isolators. How about if I just keep these BV3s and let's see where this goes. Would a little filing of the top surface with a rough file help those parts mate?
If you put (surprisingly coarse, 200-400) paper on the table and then grind the end where the filament enters into it, you will remove the top layers and soon see the brass beneath,
The pores and ridges, tiny grooves are super "bite" for the UM teflon!

I will be sanding?? down my Block over the weekend and hoping to fit, I am glad I am aware of the issue before I fit, would it be better to leave the i2K out of the equation??. Would it be better to mount the Block in Lathe and take a cut off the face, say 0.15mm??
You have meanwhile been shipped a new one!
Dont take of 0.15, it is way too much, but will not hurt, since you can adjust the steel coupler!

Thank You Very much appreciated
I think you should try meanwhile! Just get rid of the shiny alloy.

That's interesting swordriff I am hoping to meet Bondtech at the TCT Show, I know they have a stand will you be there. also looking at the BCN3d Sigma.. Really want the Dual Head Machine..
Will get rid of the Shiny Alloy on the Plateau,, if I do would that make the block not leak???
Although I have a RoBo3D, my friend did not have a good time with burned nozzle, I would not recommend it.

Can you please explain? What do you not recommend?
Edited by GuestThe mechanism and the whole thing it is not worth it.

What mechanism? What are you talking about?
Sorry the matchless block.
Sorry the matchless block.
And what was the problem your friend had with the matchless block? Just saying "I can't recommend it" is not helpful. And did he use it with an Ultimaker or some other printer? The block was designed for the Ultimaker2/2+.

How can I tell if I have this version or not?
I can notice it before you mount it?
By reading @Swordriff 's post carefully, especially the passage I emphased...
