Good afternoon,

I have an UM3 printer and I want to use abrassive material, usually carbon black filled filament. I would like to know if you have tested these material and if it is possible to change the nozzle to other more resistant. I know it is at my own risk but any piece of advice is really welcome.

Searching I found solex nozzle and they sell something called everlast nozzle. I know it's another company but I am trying to design some experiment and I need that kind of materials with non-zero conductivity.

Thank you very much in advance.

    CF will wear out your nozzle pretty quickly and wreck it. Basically it sands the tip flat such that the nozzle gets shorter and shorter and quality gets much worse and eventually it fails.

    I recommend you get the 3dsolex hardcore with 2 nozzles and then buy also the ruby nozzle (or to save money if you aren't printing a lot of CF you could buy 1 or 2 steel nozzles).

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
