Introducing the GammaMaster Nozzle by Slice Engineering

- For too long, you have had to settle for poor thermal performance when printing with abrasive filaments, but GammaMaster is the best of both worlds. It's the first RepRap nozzle designed for abrasive filament printing that doesn't sacrifice thermal conductivity.
Thermal Performance: The GammaMaster Nozzle's thermal performance is similar to that of a standard brass nozzle while maintaining its abrasive-resistant qualities.
Abrasion Resistant: GammaMaster excels in printing abrasive filaments with a Rockwell C hardness level greater than 65.
Anti-Adhesive Surface: GammaMaster features a new coating that reduces the surface energy of the nozzle and prevents the accumulation of plastic around the nozzle's tip.

Nice nozzle, the video needs quite a bit of work though :)
So...like Tungsten nozzles only less expensive?
Better performance than tungsten alone, not quite as thermally conductive as tungsten carbide, but also a lot cheaper than TC!
@@dabarou Thanks! How close in thermal performance to Tungsten Carbide. Currently I'm using Dyze Design Tungsten Carbide nozzles on both of my printers but I'm getting tired of replacing expensive nozzles when I get a clog that just won't fully clear.
Sounds interesting
Do you guys have any data sheets? the chart I found is very vague. I have the bridge master and the vanadium nozzles stopped using the vanadium nozzles because having to use them at 15-25 degrees higher than usual was irritating. none the less i ordered 2 lol (gamma nozzles that is) so hopefully it performs as advertised! Data on this that is more open with how much of a difference would be cool
We do not have any data sheets related specifically to GammaMasters thermal performance. What sort of data are you looking for? We can make note of it and look into some testing.
In our testing, we were able to print PLA at 190°C with GammaMaster in a stress test, whereas with Vanadium it was normal to bump an extra 10°C to print with PLA.
For example most of the plas I have run through the bridgemasters was about 195-200c for optimal print quality where as same filiment but with vanadium I needed to run 220c or higher to get the material printing well so I have had to have specific profiles for the vanadium nozzles, also idk if it's just in my head or not but higher temp in the vanadium nozzles produces more smell. Anyway very curious as to what temp regular pla will need to be ran at.
I just read your whole comment lol thats pretty much what i was looking for was about what temp i would be expecting to run it. Sounds awsome cant wait!
Does it work with the Mellow VzBot Goliath Hotend?
GammaMaster is compatible with any hotend that uses RepRap style nozzles (M6 x 1.0 threads)
It's unlikely to be depleted uranium nozzles. "GammaMaster" made me think of using depleted uranium instead of steel or tungsten for armor-piercing rounds. According to the scientific literature, depleted uranium has a thermal conductivity of about 0.4 W/m-K at high temperatures. Brass sits around 150, copper around 400, so DU is not desirable in hot glue boat machines for reasons beyond its chemical and radiological toxicity.
It's very likely that the nozzle will end up using gamma waves as its primary method of exciting the molecules in the filament as opposed to a conventional hotend ‼️
Hi there! The name "GammaMaster" refers to the nozzle's Low Gamma coating, which lowers the surface energy of the nozzle for an anti-adhesive surface.

Is it patented? Lmao.
Nope, GammaMaster is a RepRap style nozzle, so it's compatible with any hotend that uses M6x1.0 threads!
