3D solex vs Volcano nozzles?
November 01, 2019 10:51AM
Hi,

I have been using 3d solex nozzles for quite some time now. They have this internal geometry that has more walls inside the melt chamber enabling more heat transfer, therefore the throughput should be increased. I usually printed with .4 or .6 nozzles and they worked great.
Recently I needed to do some really fast prints so I switched to a .8 nozzle on an e3d volcano, which also works well, but switching heater blocks is quite some operation that requires a new cooling duct because the heater block is bigger and is generally inconvenient.

I therefore wonder if someone here has used Solex nozzles and wants to share some of their print speeds. In the end I want to find out what the different max throughput of a solex vs a volcano nozzle is.

Cheers
