After the initial test batch that you have tested we decided to change the design a bit.
The updated design features a slightly larger ruby, a mechanically stronger fixing of the ruby and (hopefully) improved thermal conductivity.
I am abroad right now but there might be a few pieces available for testing still.
"gudo" actually got one of the very early test pieces of this design, that particular sample has an unpolished ruby which might affect surface quality but should apart from that perform as the final design.
Hi to all
Many thanks Anders ! I tested today the ruby nozzle, here my first impressions
I printed more 1 month ago a blason, I took this Cura file print as a sample for testing the ruby nozzle vs standard brass nozzle.
I notice a huge difference, particularly at the flat surface, layer's traces have become virtually invisible and details are sharper.
It looks like there is less nozzle outlet extrusion friction.
The pic shows on the left side the ruby nozzle print , the material is the same, on the left, with time the PLATEC cleared up by becoming whiter
The printing look is by far much better with the ruby nozzle
