A new heater core, if you ever needed one is 23.50. A nozzle or better nozzle break costs 19 Pounds or a bit less if you buy a set compared to around 4.20 for a V6 nozzle, but, well, it comes with an included heatbreak.

Compared to an assembled V6 a Revo Six is around 40% more expensive and sells for 70 British Pounds. I used prices from the E3D shop, your local prices may slightly vary. Still it’s a bit against the spirit of RepRap, but I think we have to deal with this if we want to get away from DIY solutions to reliably working systems. The cold side is still open source, so if you want to use a Revo nozzle and heater core with your heatsink or extruder, you can! In a way, I do understand E3D because they poured a ton of R&D money into Revo and don’t want others simply and often even in a worse way – copying what they worked so hard for.

On their website, they link to a design patent in which they protect the appearance of the Revo nozzles, which means that we won’t be finding either cheap replacement nozzle-breaks or abrasion-resistant nozzles from 3rd party vendors soon if they don’t have a license agreement with E3D. I’m quite extited to find out if they use the simple long meltzone approach from volcano or if they use some of the technology I found in one of their patents in which they shape a tube that’s part of the flow path and embed that in a heater! That’s also where another E3Ds patent on Revo comes in. E3D also recently talked about a high flow variant of the Revo.

They will be releasing their abrasion-resistant nozzle shortly, but if you install Revo right now, you won’t be able to print any abrasive materials. E3D also teased Revo CR, a drop-in replacement for the typical Creality style hotends that should be released soon! Revo CR will use the same thermistor as Creality machines, so there won’t be any firmware changes necessary.Īt the time of releasing this video, there were only brass nozzles available from E3D. Then there is a Revo heatsink for Voron machines with a 4-screw mount on the top.

E3D offers an upgrade kit for Hemera if this is important for you. You can install the Revo hot side on an old Hemera without a problem, but the spring that usually connects the heatsink and heater core doesn’t connect, so you lose this feature. And since the new Revo nozzles have exactly the same interface that was introduced with the Hemera extruder, there is also a Revo Hemera. Then there is Revo Micro which is a smaller and lighter version suitable for compact machines and fast printing where low weight is essential.

Its length, the heatsink, and the groove mount have exactly the same dimensions. The Revo Six is a drop-in replacement for the old V6 hotend. Revo is its own ecosystem which means that you need to replace the whole hotend if you want to use it on your printer.
