As long as you leave this stuff assembled you do not need to work on hotend when hot and you essentially get revo equivalent with some inconveniences (heater and thermistor wires) and no revo limitations. Accidentally it is also what revo "nozzle" replaces. The only part you have to work on when hot is heatbreak-heatblock-nozzle assembly, where you hot-tighten the nozzle against heatbreak in the heatblock. Heatbreak is generally hand-tightened in heatsink (and the need to use wrench is specifically to avoid applying excess force here) and can be removed/reinstalled when cold. I am talking about removing assembly equivalent to revo nozzle from heatsink. I am not talking about completely disassembling hotend. Heater stays attached, heatblock goes with the "nozzle".Īlso I’ve never managed to take a hotend apart & put it back together while cold, at least without worrying that there’s a gap that’ll cause a big molten filament ball. Heatblock is the part which you put it on, between nozzle and heatsink. The heatblock itself is the ceramic bit in the revo hotends - which stays attached to the cold end when the nozzle+heartbreak assembly is removed. For example what happens if you clog the heatbreak (too much retraction for example)? Will whole "nozzle" be unsalvageable? With separate heatbreak it is pretty easy to fix (though with full disassembly), but without ability to remove heatbreak from the nozzle how one would go about fixing it? Or what if the nozzle is clogged badly? Again replace whole thing? Does not seem great. I have few practical concerns about revo which make me think it is better to wait and see how it goes instead of rushing to buy it. The only inconvenience here are heater/thermistor, but a pair of connectors can be used to solve that. The only caveat is - you will have to buy few extra heatbreaks and heatblocks, which is still cheaper than revo "nozzle". It can be done completely cold, by hand without applying any counter torque or anything. What i am saying is - if you take regular v6, pull out heater/thermistor and unscrew heatbreak from heatsink you get the same part out - nozzle/heatblock/heatbreak. What you actually replace is not nozzle, but nozzle+heatblock+heatbreak, in case of revo manufactured as one single part. Yeah, it means you can replace the nozzle while cold & without having to carefully apply counter torque to the heater block to hold it in place.
