Chinese 3-way mixer Stumbled across this on Alixexpress, and was wondering if anyone has tried one?

I am sure I could. However, setting up the machines to make one would make for a very expensive part. I'd have to make a quantity of them. At the moment, I am still making and selling J-Heads so the machines are setup for J-head production.

Best Regards,

Brian

Brian,

Can you machine a Diamond Hotend? Or even better a variation using standard J-head parts?

If so I would be interested. Shipped to the UK.

Please do not buy from these thieves! Get a real diamond head.

I have e-mailed reprap.me to let them know. Its up to them if they wish to take further action.]]> Dust General Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:15:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613597#msg-613597 Re: Chinese 3-way mixer https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613597#msg-613597
There are a couple of downsides - I want to be able to print soft filaments like TPE, and bowden isn't great for that. I also like the idea of some of the more abrasive filaments where you really want to treat the nozzles as somewhat disposable. Fine when they cost 1 to 2 $, not such a neat idea for a $20 part. But it would be awesome for trying different alloys of more common filaments. I wonder what a 50/50 mix of petg and abs is like? Can you mix anything with delrin to stop it warping off the bed? So much fun...]]> JamesK General Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:01:38 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613592#msg-613592 Re: Chinese 3-way mixer https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613592#msg-613592
Yes, it's definitely a clone, but it still looks pretty awesome. I wonder how its performance compares to a genuine Diamond.]]> epicepee General Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:50:13 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613452#msg-613452 Re: Chinese 3-way mixer https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613452#msg-613452 reprap.org]]]> VincentM General Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:10:21 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613414#msg-613414 Chinese 3-way mixer https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,613414,613414#msg-613414
