Bondtech, E3D, Prusa and the Orbiter Project have now all patented high flow nozzles. This is honestly sad, we are blocked for 15+ years with those now. The good news is that they are (all) a pain to cold pull 🫢

I've been 3D-printing for around five and a half years. So I'm not a rookie, but I just made a #rookie #mistake.
I've spent the last couple of weeks making compartments and dividers and such for the toolboxes I take to the Repair Cafe. Lots of test #prints to check fits and footprints, full prints, changes to design based on lessons learned during use at the last cafe, etc. I've put around three kilograms of #filament through my printer in that time.
Then, in the last couple days, I started having various problems. At first they only showed up on big prints - #adhesion and #curling, which I've had before when pushing the limits of my bed size. But prints seemed to be getting #sloppier, and I had a couple of spaghetti explosions.
Tonight, I finally took the #hotend apart and looked at it closely - it's very difficult to do when the printer is fully assembled, because it's a #delta printer.
Lo and behold, the nozzle appeared worn. And that can account for all the problems.
I should have checked this sooner - but I've only been printing plain #PLA, nothing abrasive, so I didn't think of it. Lesson learned.
Pardon the shitty photo from a cheap digital magnifier. The old #nozzle #orifice is about 1.5x the diameter of the new one - so 2.25x the area. No wonder plastic was going everywhere but where it should go!
Seems to be printing *much* better with a new nozzle.
#Inkjet #cartridges suck and should be banned! Finally got some more paper for my #printer today but then the #cyan cartridge runs out of #ink, so I put in a new cartridge and guess what? The new one doesn’t work at all despite the printer saying the cartridge is full of ink. Like, I tried everything to fix it including reinserting the cartridge, doing the #nozzle check, cleaning the heads, performing a head realignment, restarting the printer, updating the #firmware, printing a cyan purge test page, none of that worked. The last two options I can think of are
1. Try using an official #Epson cartridge, since we’ve been using aftermarket cartridges for a while since the official ones are way #overpriced, but the aftermarket ones have been working fine up until now and if it doesn’t work, then that’s money on an #expensive Epson cartridge wasted.
Or
2. Just get rid of this #capitalist cartridge printer and buy a #tank one, because I’m done with printer companies locking us into #proprietary cartridges. I wanna be able to use whatever ink we buy without having crappy #DRM. Plus this printer is now 10 years old anyways, it’s lasted surprisingly long and has outlasted very other printer we had, but this problem as well as the constant need to realign the heads to stop lines from going through the ink are signs it’s time to upgrade to a tank printer.
I hope one day the governments of the world ban inkjet cartridges, because they are horrible for the #environment and are just here to keep prices up.
Pics attached of the #nozzles in case anyone can see what’s gone wrong, but I highly doubt there is anything that can be seen.

This is the internal design of the future E3D high speed nozzles, called the FUGE! Unlike the CHT ones, there is no more channelling. Instead, the filament core is warmed up by flattening its path while maintaining the same surface area throughout. This is the application of an E3D patent from 2020. ⤵️

E3D launched ObXiDian 500, a new wear resistant and non-stick technology for 3D printer nozzles that can withstand temperatures of up to 500°C. The fabrication process is impressive, read more about it on their blog!
