Sexy indeed i like what you say about no filament that can wear this one out
Curious i am

I have asked anders Olsson to make a pair of ear-rings for my daughter, Thats how beautiful I think they are!
Edited by GuestMy new nozzle is showing promising results to far.
Printing ABS based on Sabic MG94 (which prints really good), it appears to have potential of reaching surface- and overhang quality I have not seen before:
Next up is the same plastic, but with a fair amount of really nasty particles in it.
The nozzle is not made from tungsten carbide by the way, but of something which is equally hard
And I did not claim that "no filament can wear it out", I said claimed "no filament that I am aware of that you can buy" can wear it out.
My homemade filament is a different story, It should cause some wear, but hopefully not at the same rate as it eats brass

Any chance of doing 1.75mm filament versions? I want that nozzle for my umo+ badly
It should not be more difficult to make them for 1.75 mm filament than for 3 mm, in fact 1.75 mm might be easier.
If my tests turn out nicely, I will try to get something like this on the market as I said. There are several things that needs to be tested and optimized first though.
But highest on my priority list right now is that the guy who payed the components and the manufacturing wants me to begin by using them for their intended purpose: Printing one of the few things that has potential to ruin them reasonably quickly.
That, on the other hand, is quite a good stress-test
Any news? My printer could really use one of that sexys nozzles
Things are awfully slow here (as they usually are in the beginning of summer), so I still only have one prototype.
If I am lucky however, I might have a few more prototypes later this week. It will be 3 mm versions though, since I don't have any 1,75 mm nozzles available that are suitable for modification right now.
Swordriff is working on it too, but his batch might take a bit more time.
So if you would be able to use a 3 mm E3D-style nozzle, which is a bit shorter than the UMO-nozzle, I might have one soon. If not, you have to wait a bit longer.
I'll wait. I have a 3mm e3d steel nozzle. It works but drips like hell. I have a production of 4 weeks 12h/day incoming and half will be with carbon from formfutura (released yesterday) and some colorfabb too. Thanks for the update!
Great work you guys have been doing! Looking forward to the release of this new nozzle (whenever that may be) so I can put it on my machine
Woa amazing. Just 200grms of carbonfil and the nozzle tip it's already softened from flat to curve. I think I'll wait for better nozzles since the aluminium block of umo suffers a lot from changing nozzles.
I am going to the 3DSolex HQ in Oslo today.
If you are lucky, some kind of wear resistant 1.75 mm prototype will come out of this "mad scientists meeting"
You killed SpongeBob?
PEI-C60? shape-memory polymer / SMP? Graphite Solar Sponge?
Edited by GuestLooks like PEEK chips from a lathe.
Ketron?
Fluorosint?
Crack Kryptonite?
Lathed Unobtanium?
Diamonditeanium?
Polybenzimidazole?
Praseodymium?

I think the combination of relatively high melting point for XT-CF20 and cooling fans are causing you the extrusion issues. Try printing with as little fans as possible and reduce the speed a bit!
Here is a teaser of my approach to address nozzle wear by the way, I just post a photo and let you guess :-)
If this continues working as good as it does right now I will try to make these available (through swordriff/3dSolex and dealers).
First I need to make a few more prototypes for further testing though.
Then, sourcing components and setting up manufacturing will take some time, so please be patient... and they will not be for free..
On the other hand, none of the filament that I am aware of that you can buy should be able to cause wear on them, so it might be worth the wait and cost for some users.

That looks sexy! Insert of tungsten carbide?
