It is because the temp transition is much sharper than with air cooled. As far as complexity, it adds in 2 hoses, a tank and a aquarium pump. You can also use a laser water chiller. Some people have used CPU coolers although I have found the pumps are not very strong on those. Regarding pump stoppage or operation without the pump running. It will jam after awhile as heat builds up. Most oftby metzindustries - Plastic Extruder Working Group

Hi we have been working on a water cooled print head most of the year and it is finally done It comes with files to,print a water pump, direct drive extruder, and radiator. The extruder I have been using the design for months in both aluminum and printed plastic. I regularly print polycarbonate with it. It is all metal, except for the pneumatic fittings.

I was part of a working group that tried PEEK. Does not stick to the bed. What you need is a print head with a dramatic temp change from hot to cold state. Plastic is in 3 states for the sake of discussion. Solid filament, rubbery sticky, and liquid. You want the middle state to be as small as possible. Which means active cooling. The solid filament acts like a plunger in the filament guideby metzindustries - Plastic Extruder Working Group

We hit 500mm sec speeds with the AutoX3D coreXY printer using Bowden.by metzindustries - CoreXY Machines
Depends on the speed, temp and layer height. It was really tricky to get clear prints. My best results were .05mm layer heights and 270c running at 120mm sec. Here is the print head. I am using industrial temp controller with it and a DC SSRby metzindustries - Plastic Extruder Working Group

Hi there, Butte from AutoX3D. We are finally done with our new water cooled print hot end. After months of design and testing we have made what we feel is a really kicking hot end. Here are the specs: Metal construction, no teflon, no PEEK. Aluminum heat exchanger that keeps a 50c temp while the hot end is maintaining 300C and above with a heat break of 4mm. The hot end is aluminum aby metzindustries - For Sale
Working on a 3D printed mini mill here. Got tired of wasting time with the machine shop.by metzindustries - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
I am getting a stand alone temperature controller today with a dry relay for the hot end. I really like how I can get high speeds out of the polycarbonate and .05mm layer heights. It is the easiest to control plastic I have used yet and has a high temp range so even with the crazy thermocouple readings I was able to print with it,.

I am running corexy marlin. 2 extruders with thermocouples k type. I have eliminated every other possibility aside from a RAMPS pr firmware issue. I have the PID set very good. 1 degree temperature variance. If I extrude even without plastic in the extruder the temperature readings read totally wrong. Example Set point is 230c It will suddenly jump to 280c and then 2 seconds later it will saby metzindustries - Firmware - mainstream and related support
It is really fussy that ad595. Mine gave me so many problems in the beginning. Stray voltage, and RF were constant headaches. Weirdest part was the stainless shielding would somehow affect readings if it touches the machine frame. Ended up cutting the thermocouple wire at 2 inches and running ordiinary wire to the thermocouple chip. Problem solved.by metzindustries - Plastic Extruder Working Group
Took put the Bowden today and put in direct drive. 1mm retraction and very minimal ooze with the polycarbonate. I'm liking this polycarbonate with the water cooled print head.by metzindustries - Plastic Extruder Working Group
Fotek inductove proximity sensors have a 5mm range and cost $3.25 they have 3 wires and work with marlin and ramps 1.4 without firmware changes for end stop use. I'm pretty happy with them as my end stops. No more pesky micro switches. Capacitive sensor data sheet hereby metzindustries - Developers
Are you using the right slicing settings and prepping your bed right?by metzindustries - General
I machined in a grove in m6 stainless rod. It makes it rather weak and prone to damage at that spot not to mention increasing costs dramatically. The sharper the heat transition you can get the better. I am at 2mm space and temp transition from 300c to 40c this eliminates most of the plug The advantage of this tiny transition zone is that filament retraction has less backlash.
