Upgrade lines: flow, speed and wear resistance

E3D structures part of its proposition around four upgrade pillars for desktop printers. The Bastion coating is formulated to increase the longevity of gears and hobbs by reducing friction and stress during printing, with the aim of achieving consistent extrusion with any filament.

High-flow upgrades are designed to increase volumetric flow rate and reduce printing times, while maintaining consistent extrusion and good interlayer adhesion. ObXidian and ObXidian 500 nozzles feature a coating that offers wear resistance against carbon fibre or glass fibre filaments, as well as non-stick properties.

The DiamondBack line, made up of HotEnds and nozzles, is designed for printing with demanding filled filaments and extending service life compared with stock options.

News and recent activity

The company's blog includes the announcement of FlowCore, a licensing programme covering its high-flow extrusion technology for additive manufacturing, which includes the FUGE portfolio. It also publishes technical content, such as the article on the difference between high flow and high speed in 3D printing.

Featured products included the High Flow ObXidian Complete HotEnd for Bambu Lab X1 and P1, the DiamondBack HotEnd for Bambu Lab X1C, X1E, P1P and P1S, and Brass and ObXidian nozzles for Prusa Nextruder.
