Instead, the ObXidian uses a hardened tool steel insert, pressed into a copper body, and then all of that is coated with what they call E3DLC. There are nozzles out there like the Ruby nozzle that actually use an inserted gemstone, the ObXidian also has a hard insert, but real obsidian would be a pretty poor choice for that, it would be a cool novelty, but obsidian, being a volcanic glass, is rather soft, brittle, and not very wear resistant. First of all, this thing has nothing to do with actual obsidian, other than, it’s black, it’s shimmery, and it looks cool. And hopefully, it will put up a bit more of a fight than this powderized brass nozzle. Well, I don’t typically keep videos around just waiting to be released, so what you’re watching now obviously isn’t the launch video I was hoping to make, and since I assume just how well the ObXidian prints is now already well covered by everyone else, I’m going to do something that nobody else is doing: I’m going to attempt to destroy it. There were promises of it being available “soon” for almost a year, then when it was finally scheduled to be unveiled, that release got canceled on short notice, which was frustrating for me, I had an ObXidian, and I wanted to have a video on it available at launch and had spent a bunch of time on it, but when the launch got canceled, I had to shuffle and find a different topic I could produce a video on in just a couple of days to stick with my two-week release schedule, and when the ObXidian was then finally actually released, E3D gave a generous three business day notice to please have your content ready on launch. Which meant you could only print with filaments that were non-abrasive.īut E3D knew about this, and they promised they would make a nozzle to end all nozzles. Only E3D are allowed to make nozzles for it, and the only nozzles they were making were plain brass. A couple of years later, the reason for that became clear: There’s a whole new ecosystem of hotends, extruders, and integrated nozzlebreaks that all revolve around this new form factor that makes nozzle swaps faster and printing more reliable.Į3D was calling it Revo. What does it take to break it?Į3D’s Hermes, or now Hemera, introduced a new, compact heatbreak mount. For full details on our Volumetric flow rate findings, please refer to our Documentation.The E3D ObXidian is E3D’s new flagship nozzle. To make our figures as close to real use cases as possible, we have stuck to a semi-standardised testing procedure. Empirically providing useful volumetric flow rate figures is a challenging task. Rapid identification. Identify nozzle sizes at a glance, thanks to a colour-coded silicone sock. Plus, each Revo Nozzle has 'HF' and its size engraved into it with easy-to-read numbers, so there are no confusing identification markers to learn! Including the standard Revo™ nozzle range, which is interchangeable, Revo allows for a wide range of printing applications with 0.15mm nozzles all the way up to 1.40mm! Revo™ High Flow unlocks higher flow for existing 0.4mm, 0.60mm, and 0.80mm nozzle sizes and adds 1.00mm, 1.20mm, and 1.40mm nozzle sizes to your arsenal. How does this work? Unlike our previous E3D High Flow Hotends ( Volcano and SuperVolcano ), Revo™ High Flow maintains the exact same form factor as standard Revo HotEnds this means there is no need to adjust your pre-existing mount and fan duct setups! Revo™ High Flow uses a unique custom internal geometry to increase the surface area for improved thermal transfer to the filament. Revo™ High Flow increases your setup's volumetric flow rate, enabling you to print faster! Say goodbye to frustrating HotEnd leaks and enjoy reliable 3D printing! Each Revo Nozzle is a preassembled nozzle and HeatBreak in one unit, so there’s no hazardous hot tightening and no chance of incorrect assembly.
