Basics
- A FDM 3D Printer Nozzle made of a Brass Body, with a Polycrystalline Diamond Insert for the Orifice / "Cone" that leads into that
- Thus has:
- Higher Thermal Conductivity
- Lower Friction
- And Most Importantly: Is not impacted by Abrasive Filament (Sort of if you are printing diamond reinforced plastic!)
- Better than Brass Thermal Performance, Better than Hardened Steel Nozzle / Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Hardness
- Main Issue is Cost (Although in comparison to similar hardened nozzles, it is somewhat nominal)
- A Bit of an Unknown is Fragility
- Due to both Impact/Shock, and if a Cold Pull (FDM 3D Printing) can be preformed
- It also has a Lead warning, need to determine if this is due to Leaded Brass or Leaded Solder
- Either way looking into that, and Lead Exposure from FDM 3D Printing (which should be minor, but hard numbers would be nice)
