Our friends at 3DVerkstan have decided to arrange a competition during the meetup. The contest starts right now and the winner will be announced at 19.00 tomorrow (Saturday). There can be three winners and the lucky ones will get one Olsson Ruby nozzle each. The competition is simple; please describe what projects or parts you would use the ruby nozzle for and how you think you would benefit from it. For those of you who don’t know, here’s some information about the ruby nozzle and why you should be using one.
One nozzle
The Olsson Ruby will work with a huge range of materials.
PLA, ABS, CPE/PET, Nylon, and composites with abrasive additives such as Carbon fibre, Steel, Wood, Boron Carbide, Tungsten and Phosphorescent pigment, are some of the materials sucessfully tested so far.
Highly wear resistent
The ruby mounted at the tip makes sure that even the toughest materials will be printable. It was originally designed for printing with Boron Carbide (B4C), the third hardest known material in the world.
Excellent heat conductivity
Since most of the Olsson Ruby is made from brass, with its excellent heat conductivity, performance and throughput is first-class.
Verified performance
People all over the world have been testing different iterations of the ruby nozzle since early 2016. We are very happy to have received only good printing results from this community.
Manufacturing quality
The Olsson Ruby is manufactured, assembled and tested in a high-quality facility in Sweden. This is why 3DVerkstan guarantees the very best quality and tolerances.
3DVerkstan will select the three best applications and the winners will be given one free nozzle each, and an opportunity to showcase the results on olssonruby.com.
The deadline for the applications is Saturday 25th of March at 17.00 and the winners will be announced at 19.00. Prices will be handed out on site in Helsingborg.
