H2D Carbide tip

Will the H2D pro tungsten carbide nozzle work on the H2S?

It’s seems very likely they do, since the pro nozzles work on the H2D, and the H2D nozzles work on the H2S.

Yeah, I was assuming A=B, and B=C, then A=C - but still figured there might be “Something” weird

Will there also be high-flow variants of the tungsten carbide nozzles?

Tungsten is extremely hard and should be very durable. I’m curious whether the tungsten HF nozzle has better or worse flow compared to a regular HF nozzle. Tungsten carbide has higher thermal conductivity than hardened steel, although the actual performance also depends on the nozzle’s shape and mass and so on. I haven’t gotten the regular HF nozzle for the H2D yet, and I’m not sure whether I should wait for the tungsten release. I don’t usually print with abrasive filaments a lot, but I do want the best flow possible.

We use a ton of Tungsten Carbide at work, machinists hate it, we generally use a diamond crystal bit and surface grinder to get a mirror finish at the end.

I have been printing a bunch of -CF material and so far no issues, but if I ever wear out a Hardened steel nozzle, I will replace with TC - I’ll die before that things wears out.
