The Mosquito Hotend is... wild! #MRRF2019

Are these hotends also available for Prusa Minis?

The idea that this was a new invention is so laughably false. Every dirt cheap stock Creality hotend has a pair of machine screws filling the structural role and making nozzle change easy and safe against damaging the hotend. Shame on Slice for abusing the patent system claiming patent on something with clear prior art.

BGM - LOL.

The good ole days of expos

the price is higher now ?

Holy shk..! Just take my kid instead! He's really smart and a decent worker!

$150.00 Seriously???

Way way way way way to expensive!!! The clone is close to as good, these guys need to come to reality so they could sell more!!
Unfortunately guys I bought the clone because of budget constraints and I think a lot of people will do the same!
$65 or $130 hum I can buy 2 or 1

Do value its authentic idea. But do we really need to pay that much just because produced in USA? It's questionable.

what about the nova hotend?

I don't know why they stress so much the fact that it allows one-handed nozzle switching and doesn't focus on the heatbreak. This hotend is not a curiosity that allows the nozzle to be changed more easily than a V6, it is the best hotend on the market and it gives a print quality above anything I've tried. Even being an All-metal hotend, the regular version allows printing PLA with retractions without any sign of jamming. And at the same time you can print Nylon or any technical material. It is simply the perfect hotend.

The day I met the BMG extruder, I was amazed at what it was capable of and decided to change all the extruders of my machines for this one. The same thing happened to me with the Mosquito

"Aside from one handle nozzle change"
Guess what I do with my mk8...

Nothing was printing. Their store has no videos. No IR cams. Smells like snakeoil to me. Genuine innovators all fall over themselves with demos proving their points.

"Thats a long hot zone"

Is this a medical product? Why so expensive?

The low thermal conductivity of stainless steel is underrated

Lol they made a 6min video for something that took 10 sec 🙃

not open source...

no way am i buying a $150 dollar hot end for a $160 dollar printer

Hi Tom. Nice to meet you.
Could you explain about patent for this hotend? How can they patent the product? While e3d is open hardware?

Don't interrupt.

been using it on my ender 5 for about a month, its been a great upgrade, its not cheap but its doing better than i imagined

So i got an ender 3, i, thinking abot a hotend swap and see these in instagram a lot, but for this price😂😂😂 nevermind😂😂

the big thing tho mainly is the clogging stuff and how tiny it is and that heatcreep to me

Waiting for the water cooled version.

Your machine: can now print high tech filaments that cost $600 a roll that used to only be done on cutting edge multi thousand dollar printers
You: But $140 dollars tho?

Looks like they ripped off the nosel of the Kodama Obsidian and improved it. At least they are making thiers and you have only seen knock off Obsidians. Kodama get your act together? Wonder if that CEO could ever get another job?

you should work on your audio.. that annoying scratchy sound when using head phone.

Strongly considering buying one of these. I replaced the E3D V6 in my i3 MK3 with a Volcano, which has been working pretty well, except for the heatbreak coming loose due to nozzle changes.

I think this is a really important step in the right direction. Can't believe e3d never realized that structural heatbreaks were a silly idea.

how it work with a Nimble extruder???

why n make it out of Inconel and titanium while your at it.

What is wrong with traditional fan and using two hands???

But... Changing nozzles is not that frustrating and hard as he says. I do it all the time, it's even a fun thing to do. Also, it's way too expensive, and the "made in indiana" justification just doesn't help

Interesting.

Interesting that he mentioned that they expect more heated build chambers to be made... EXTREMELY interested in those! That's the KEY to repeatable prints with no warping! I know Stratasys have patents but the Zortrax Inventure has active heating so there must either be be ways around them, licensed from Stratasys or maybe the patents run out soon? Anyone know any printers besides the high high end ones that have actively heated chambers?

Way overpriced to even be considered really.

I make awesome things on my cr-10. Other than my issue with very small things, why would I transfer to this end at that price?

So what is that black 'clamp' made of, where the additional four bolts go in? Is it ceramics? Or titanium?

I would love it if I knew what a hotend was

Nice product, don't mind the price, patent pending - thank you, NO. What a shitty move given that this tech was kept locked from the public for such a long time cause of the fucking patents. Yack

can it build on anycubic i3 mega and is it a 12 volt or 24. i don't now wat to chose on the website of matterhackers? is it worth to buy?

This just shows how much innovation we still have to go in the 3d printing realm, even with the technology we all know and love.

Okay....I'll buy one 😆

How about a Nimble Bondtech Mosquito on a MMU2S? :P haha

I'm very sold on this, most of the android parts have to be super filaments that require 300 or hotter temps to print pa12, hytrel, peek, etc and even for the carbon fiber polycarb that's still 275 which is out of range for standard stuff

Of course, we are all waiting for a zesty nimble/mosquito thats water cooled!

Logical indeed. How did no one think to set up a hotend like that until now?!

Great job and keep it up
