Status of E3D obxidian high flow nozzle for X1?

I just meant the stock profiles are at 10k and switching to Ludi bumps them to 20k.

The 500, that’s the machine axis limits.
That’s also the max peak design speed for the carbon rods and graphite bushes, which is probably why everything is limited around there.

Fair enough. When I upgraded to the 0.6 Bambu Labs nozzle, I opted for the complete drop-in package, so I effectively skipped those steps. But that’s entirely me and my preference, so you’re perfectly right. Thanks for pointing that out. It brings more balance to what I had said.

I think the proof is in the pudding. If we could perhaps see some pictures of typical benchmark objects printed at the ludicrous speeds using maximit’s upgrade, it would certainly help. Same for whatever the Obxidian can do at whatever speeds it can.

I apologize for using the 60w figure. I don’t know where that came from. I guess it’s an “effective” 60w performance as compared to the bog standard 40w that’s the baseline built into the machines at factory? Or, if not that, what would be the proper way to refer to the Obxidian’s relative performance as compared to baseline?

Having now looked at both options, I’ll wait until there is a drop-in solution, whenever or if-ever there might be one.

FWIW, on really good machines, the entire printhead can be a simple snap-in, almost like changing an ink cartridge. But, I can see we’re as yet a long way from that here, and more power to you guys willing to mess with it in the meantime. Eventually the market will catch up, but if you can’t live without it, at least you have options.

Here is a max flow test with 0.6 CHT nozzle, dual heaters, ASA. Starting from 20mmÂł/s going up by 1mm for each step to 60mmÂł/s. Finished without failures or skips and no temp errors. I highly doubt the E3D can do anything close to this with stock heater. Also some member on my discord (invite in my profile) got even higher flow.
