3D Printing Nozzle - Wear Test

The DiamondBack Nozzles team puts 3D printing nozzles to the test -- comparing brass, steel, tungsten, ruby, and diamond.

Voidstar really sold me on this nozzle and bought it today. really looking forward on how it performs.

[@timzalusky]

Interesting, it looks like your nozzle can function as a very expensive dressing stone, haha

Birthday a few days ago and got some extra cash to upgrade printer. Was gonna buy one of these immediately but then I've read about individuals wearing through them 6months to a year. Stretching them from .6mm to 1mm. I wish this pace had a warranty for these. I read that tungsten Carbide nozzles will last longer than these, and they come with a lifetime warranty

id find a good ruby nozzle

Looking forward to the launch of the Revo diamondbacks tomorrow!

The battle of hardness!!!

[@Dave_the_Dave]

Diamondback nozzle for Bambulab X1 is the upgrade I need.

[@jmaxime89]

The upgrade we need brother, the upgrade we need

[@Monolize]

​ @jmaxime89 do you have it by now?

[@eliezedeck]

I bought one for my M5 ... the printer will probably die before the nozzle... lol

[@ivyr336]

Just curious, I don't know squat about the engineering behind a nozzle but why a brass body and not copper? Seem almost wasted to use this diamond tip and then not go all the way with a copper body?

[@BenjaminSjavik]

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I would guess this gets them closer to the expected behavior of a standard nozzle. You already have to lower the print temp quite significantly (10-15 degrees) when using a diamondback due to the crazy thermal transfer from the diamond.

[@ivyr336]

@@BenjaminSjavik i would gladly lower it even more. The lower the print temperature the less risk of heat creep clogging the toolhead. But I'm guessing it could be because brass is easier to machine. But I would be fine with paying a bit extra for copper. It's already such an expensive nozzle that copper shouldn't bump price that much more.

lmao

[@tonysobczak4023]

Kind of a stupid test really.

[@froust]

Why is that?

[@catkatarn1]

Kinda stupid to just call it stupid and not say why.
For me, I would have liked to have seen a standard amount of force applied, over a standard amount of time, and then seen the results compared. Maybe a pivoting jig to hold the grinder and a fish scale to apply pressure? With a stopwatch in the background? It won't have been a much more telling test than just someone holding a grinder.
Alos a little explanation as to the test environment and setup; I could be wrong but some of those don't look like standard nozzles I'm familiar with. Maybe it's just the magnification or maybe they were created just for this test? If they aren't industry standard nozzles than it's hard to say if the test was meaningful. I'm sure diamond is harder and does better, I'm just not sure how telling this video is of that superiority.

@@catkatarn1 to start you have no idea if he's using genuine nozzles. Also, if you look ino tungsten carbide nozzles, legit not coated, they last damn near forever several places offer a lifetime warranty to back it. These guys claim they never wear through these nozzles but people are popping up saying they wear out within a year. Ruby nozzles last loner than these from what I've read.
