You won’t need new firmware (or even a PID tune!) and the nozzle is in the same place, so you won’t lose any build area.

The upgrade is straightforward, and we’ve already prepared a step-by-step guide to walk you through the process.ĭon’t just take our word for it! Check out Andrew Sink’s recent Revo Six review, where he upgrades his Prusa MK3S+ to Revo Six.īy using Revo Micro, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the benefits we listed earlier, as well as a toolhead that is 30 grams lighter than the stock Prusa Mini+ HotEnd.

To upgrade your Prusa MK3 to a Revo Six, here’s what you need to do:

You don’t need any firmware changes, either.Ĭhanging Nozzles on the MK3S+ before and after the Revo Six upgrade Y ou’ll be able to take advantage of all the benefits we listed earlier. They both have the same form factor, and this means you won’t need to print any new parts or adjust your fan shroud/Pinda probe. Revo Six is a great upgrade for any 3D printer that already uses a V6. You’re in for a treat!Ĭhanging Revo Nozzles for the first time at formnext 2021

The Revo ecosystem is just getting started, with lots of exciting options on the way.

Revo Nozzles are colour-coded and engraved so you’ll never be left wondering whether your 0.60mm might actually be a 0.40mm.

Revo Nozzles offer a factory sealed assembly which means no more annoying HotEnd leaks.

Revo offers a considerable improvement on heat up and cooldown times thanks to its HeaterCore technology.

The ease of use and safety improvements this brings has already created some hot anticipation from the 3D printing community before it’s even released! RapidChange Revo is a new product range from E3D that improves on the shortcomings of the V6 ecosystem with a particular focus on ease of use and safetyĪn obvious benefit of Revo is you can change nozzles cold in less than 60 seconds. Revo makes it easy – just screw in a nozzle finger-tight, and you’re ready to 3D print. Once you’ve experienced Revo, you’ll no longer feel limited by the hassle of nozzle changing.

Lots of users can’t see a reason to change nozzles beyond their trusty 0.40mm, often because the idea of hot tightening is intimidating.

Additive is still lagging behind, with users heating things to 300 degrees, hot tightening, and often left hoping for the best.

Subtractive manufacturing has had the ability to quickly and easily swap tools for decades.

In fact, some OEMs we’re partnered with won’t even support hot tightening as they consider the process too dangerous, even when it’s technically possible to do.

If you’re an OEM, your customers are going to be burdened with the responsibility of hot tightening themselves if they want to change nozzles.

Lots can go wrong during this process, including burns and nozzle leaks. It involves heating your HotEnd to nearly 300 degrees and using tools to tighten the nozzle to the heaterblock.

If you’re a hobbyist, hot tightening is a necessary step when changing V6 nozzles.

Our ten years in the industry has clearly shown us that swapping nozzles has always been a major pain point for any 3D printer user, whether they’re a hobbyist or an OEM. The V6 has been a reliable workhorse in over one hundred thousand Prusa machines across the world, but with the release of our new Revo ecosystem, it’s time for an upgrade.

Hemera features convenient T-Slots for easy mounting to your printer, plus space for other accessories, part cooling fans and bed levelling probes to name a couple.TL DR: We explain the process of upgrading your Prusa to Revo and talk about the benefits of making the switch.ĭid you know most Prusa 3D printers ship with E3D parts? The Prusa MK2, MK3, MK3S, etc are just some of them, and each uses an E3D V6 as standard! This exceptional filament constraint also has a significant impact on printing rigid, and semi-rigid materials such as PLA or Nylon. You won’t experience the full extent of its unrivalled filament constraint until you print ultra-flexible materials.

Hemera constrains filament like no other extrusion system, fact. It has a custom motor which is based on a NEMA17, along with our own faceplate designs which has allowed us to add our own features for user convenience, such as mounting slots as well as produce a very compact system. Hemera is a system of components designed to work seamlessly together as a single compact product. The secondary gear shaft is on a moveable, sprung idler which allows the user to adjust filament tension. For E3D Hemera, we opted for a hardened stainless steel dual-drive arrangement which provides a huge boost in grip over single drive systems, in fact, we’re able to push filament with up to 10kg of force.
