I did my first print with it and I already love it. I'm thinking of doing a quick change system of sorts so I can swap in SS nozzles in my Kraken, take less time to set up for CF/metal PLAs. Need to buy some of those connectors you recommended to me first though.

I'm starting on my latest project, back to the shop

: Guess what

I'm making 5+ of these, so if anyone can guess what it is I'll ship one to them for free. Please only guess if you want one.

An all metal hotend?

Sort of, not quite. Thats a good starting guess.

A metal ezflexstruder?

Nylocke · Post by **Nylocke** » Wed Apr 01, 2015 10:06 pm

A bit colder

Heh, puns...

Direct extruder mount

Think a bit hotter, like really hot earth, or something like that..

Volcano heater blocks for your kraken?

Nylocke · Post by **Nylocke** » Wed Apr 01, 2015 10:57 pm

With accompanying nozzles, yes indeed! Congrats Ben, when I get done with a few of these heater blocks and a few nozzles I will send you:

1 Volcano heater block
2-4 Volcano nozzles (Not sure how much time I will have to make them yet, so thats why its a range, tell me your top 3 sizes (in a numbered order, from preferred most to least) and I'll put those ones in priority.
Fiberglass sleeving for a thermistor
1 heater cartridge
1 thermistor
2 M3 bolts for keeping the heater cartridge in place
and (if I can find them) the appropriate size of M3 bolt for the thermistor securing.

Pretty much the equivalent of an eruption pack. I'll PM you when I have things ready to send your way.

WOW, such generosity, thank you!

Let me know if there is some way I can return the favor.

Of course I don't want to be a burden so if something gets in your way, no worries. I don't think a mere lucky guess really entitles me to such a fine gift as a handcrafted volcano pack!

Wait a second... is this an April fools joke? Oh man, I just got punked so hard, lol!

Nylocke · Post by **Nylocke** » Thu Apr 02, 2015 12:17 am

Yes, it is still April first, but no this is not a joke. Just a poor coincidence. That is one block of aluminum that will be machined into a volcano heater block. Seriously, let me know what nozzle sizes you would prefer the most and I'll get back to you when I get done.

BenTheRighteous · Post by **BenTheRighteous** » Thu Apr 02, 2015 9:02 am

My priority would just go straight from largest to smallest. 1.2, 1.0, .8, .6. I already have .6 and .8 for the regular heater block so even if you just have time for the first two then I'd still have a full set of nozzles in one form or another.

Thanks again, maybe to you it's no big deal to say "it's just one block of aluminum" but I know nothing about machining, I just have my 3d printer because it's a fun hobby and everything else about manufacturing is magic. So I think this is super cool!

I ordered the heater blocks, thermistors, and the tiny M3x3 bolts that E3D uses today. I also got a hobbgoblin drive bolt to use for my new extruder development, the EZFlex 2.0 (probably won't have that corny of a name).

I think you should print the last item over here:

Thats absurd, who is that bafoon?!?

Never mind, that site turned out to be garbage. The links bring me to random stuff.

Nylocke · Post by **Nylocke** » Fri Apr 03, 2015 8:24 pm

One of those sites? :/ that would've been so cool

Nylocke · Post by **Nylocke** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 1:23 pm

I had some more time to machine yesterday. I can get the first one done today and start on the next one. My instructor is letting me make a bunch of these instead of doing the regular projects, which is awesome.

: Almost done

Nylocke · Post by **Nylocke** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 7:22 pm

: Tada

: 1mm nozzle

I got some testing to do

Its a little goopy (working on temps and speeds still) but its working.

What is the material you are printing with?

How much retract are you using? That seems like a couple mm.
