That is cool! I would really like to see companies move back towards a hotend/nozzle standard. I'm seeing a lot of specialized hotend systems, and that makes it very costly to get these even further specialized nozzles. I miss when everything used wither a V6 or mk8 nozzle. Hoping the FIN (from slice engineering) can become a popular standard. I love diamondback nozzles. The PCD is so nice! Thermals and abrasion resistance are through the roof. I have even printed Tungsten filament!
Had a diamond back nozzle on my ender 3 v2 and it was great till it wasn't. It can still clog and the nozzle can get coated with filament just like the others. when it clogs it clogs badly. The price point for it complete it reasonable because the nozzle alone were $100 by themselves. All in all, i loved my diamondback but don't use enough abrasive materials to get another
@@TheRealSamPrentice Well, the concept is more or less the same. CHT has just kinda become the "Kleenex" of the high flow nozzle world lol. The e3d high flow uses 4 channels to split the filament into whereas the bondtech patent uses 3. Same concept, slightly different channel shape.
Another review seems to debunk the more smooth extruding and showed microscope images of the nozzle hole, showing more rough sides than hardened steel nozzles, causing increased risk of clogging.
@@TheRealSamPrentice A channel called "Printing perspective". It's not that he was totally negative about the diamondback, just that the small 0.4mm hole size combined with the rougher edges cause easier clogging and of course the price ...
@@TheRealSamPrentice I don't know about him but I do print tons of CF, I have some of my machine that exclusively print that 24/7. This is a crazy pricing for that, I have a few full hotend assembly and I only now buy OEM standalone hotend which are like 15$ and when needed I just swap one of the assembly I have so that it's quick and then remove the hot end on the spare one and get it ready for the next swap... 165$ is bunker for 1 hotend when the difference is so minimal ... I would get my money back after 11 OEM hardened steel bambu hotend that's crazy. I want to say that so far it seem that printing CF non stop 24/7 seem to push me to switch some hotend about every 3 to 6 months. Do the maths, it will take a long time to get my money back even if it does last longer then 11 OEM hotend.
@@TheRealSamPrentice I don't mind testing ... I'll give it a few months and see what other people that print lots of CF say about it ... I personally think that swapping hotend is easy and quick ... so I don't see a huge use case at this price. If they just sold the actual hotend by itself at around 60-80$ that would be different discussion and I'd definitely be buying a few but 165 ... the whole printer if you're talking about a P1S is 599 ... you can upgrade the hotend and the gear for about 40$ ... so 640 vs 165 just for the hot end ... just seem like they had to pay a large license to Bambu and obviously I don't doubt they are expensive to make and they want to make a profit ... which make the product questionable as-is in. Again my opinion ... the product can be amazing I'm just questioning price.

FIN is already used by multiple manufacturers and is a better version of the revo nozzle.
how long does the carbon steel one last with abrasives like petg-cf? Do larger diameter nozzles last longer? 0.4 vs 0.6?
How does it work with PLA, PETG, and ASA?
Totally fine, the point of the video was to see the quality on infused materials tho :)

wouldnt the fiber filament wear out the CHT portion in the Obsidian nozzle insides?
Yes
Another outstanding review Sam
Nice review Sam.
Thank you dude !
Sort of new to this field, but will this work without any other mods on P1S or do I need another thing?
Morning, it will work as a stock item, so its plug and play.
Nice one Sam. 🙂
Thanks mate !!
So I'm guessing the diamondback doesn't have cht/highflow? That's unfortunate.
I thought CHT was bondtech

@winebartender6653 sort of like Porsche And VW then?

Where’s that then ?

It’s out of stock 🥲
Great product for 0,01% of the Bambu Lab users...
Well let’s see how many units they sell, there are a ton of professional industrial users and farms of course.
Of course bambu lab limits it to 300 degrees.
Ludicrous pricing
Do you print in that material tho? I’m guessing not

Maybe you’re better to test then? It’s about design and longevity
