How to MAXIMIZE flowrate: UM2 with 3D Solex Block and Bondtech extruder

· How to MAXIMIZE flowrate: UM2 with 3D Solex Block and Bondtech extruder
Hi and welcome to the community!
30mm3/s is quite a good flowrate already!
I'm not very experienced in ABS printing but from the experience i have with PLA the obvious manner to achieve more flowrate is to increase the temp. With such speeds the filament has very little time to warm up and melt correctly so higher temp is indeed necessary!
Another way is to increase the nozzle size of course, with the matchless nozzles you can go up to 2mm as you mentionned.
Another way to know the flowrate by the way is this: speed x nozzle size x layerheight
So let's say you are printing with à 1mm nozzle 0.5mm layers and 60mm/s speed:
1 x 0.5 x 60 = 30mm3/s
With the 2mm and the same settings you reach the glory 60mm3/s i'm assuming that the temperature for ABS would be pretty much the max temp of the printer (260°c) in order to work.
