UM2 print head project
Re: UM2 print head project
I think that the englih source provide the PBI Duratron from this compagny : http://www.quadrantplastics.com/fr/cont ... /4741.html
May be you can try to contact them directely

Re: UM2 print head project
Thank you!
I found there a note - do you think this is relevant?
"Components rapidly exposed to temperatures above 400°F (205°C) should be "dried" prior to use or kept dry to avoid deformation from thermal shock."

I saw this note, I think it concerns cases of storage or use in extremely wet condition, which is not our .

Yes it's very very expensive![]()
as I said 12.7mm rod would be sufficient & less expensive,
if you really want test, purchase it ! I'll redeem you the rest
Sorry, overlooked your post/offer. Yes, would be a possibility, but currently I´m looking for somebody who is able to machine it...
Currently I redesign my idea to make it easier to manufacture.
Might there be a possibility that you assist at this point??

Now when the UM3 is official, maybe gudo understands why I asked him if he had been visiting the Ultimaker R&D ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
First this one:
And then these things, both the radial fans, the fan cap and the way it opens.![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Anders ! I understand now why you asked me
It seems I was in the same R&D spirit

Not so far of the UM3 core removing

I´m currently thinking how to change the UMO head design completely... so also my PBI parts design might change...
Gudo, do you think that the stainless steel/PTFE parts of the core could be made of PBI too? I have not ordered up to now but this might be a possibility to get down with the costs...
AAAhhhh... all this ideas...
b.t.w.: I completely forget to ask - where are you located, gudo?

With the few I seen here about the core, the hot end assembly is very similar to the known metal hot ends on market,
the PBI is a very effective heat insulator and ist's strong enough to make," I think", in 1 small diameter part for replacing the few core stainless steel/PTFE parts, the core heat block can be screwed directely on it.
To confirm when more details will be accessible
