@Rene_Jurack Here’s a merlin hot end (brass insert and heater block), installed on a 3mm E3D bowden heat sink.
This would probably work - at least for testing - and would require no drilling, tapping, or other modifications to work.
The brass is long enough that it should stay cool - even without much of a heat break.
What the heck??? That nozzle is awesome. Do they offer lots of sizes is it cool?
It’s just an airbrush nozzle. I have 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5mm nozzles
Nice,Need The Battery Power ?
Nice idea. I would be interested how it works out. It is still a lot larger than the Merlin though.
That’s an automotive rtv silicone seal right? temp wouldn’t be a problem for it (as it could do 300°c) I used those to seal engine blocks, but you need to sand the metal surface for a good bond otherwise it’ll just slip loose
No need to close, it works just as good as any other nozzle in regards to oozing.
Is it so it can go to very high temps?
I printed PC @270°C with a well cooled Merlin, but the nozzle itself is stainless steel if i remember correctly, so it should be able to go much higher.
It can print up to 400c with an appropriate thermistor or thermocouple. Probably higher depending on the aluminum used for the heat block
