I’m thinkin about getting one of those ruby nozzles for my printers to basically be able to print anything without ever having to worry about a degrading nozzle. I’ve seen quite a few videos about it, but I still don’t know two things:
- Given the surrounding material is brass and only the tip being out of ruby, doesn’t the filament path where the molten filament gets pushed through still wear out over time (heavily so with CF or GF filament)?
And also
- How good are the cheaper ones, specifically the “DUROZZLE” one (since that’s the one I could find that’s 0.6mm and cheap)?
Everything will degrade should be your defaut assumption. The question is how long, and that feeds into the ecconomic question of how much is a given level of quality worth.
i can’t answer your question, but hopefull this helps you understand why you didn’t frame is quite right and in turn figure out the correct answers for you-
