Testing the ObXidian nozzle and new E3D Revo developments

I previously tested the E3D Revo hot end system on a high speed SecKit SK-Tank coreXY 3D printer, and was pleasantly surprised by the performance. The system offers convenient, tool-less swapping of nozzles, so it works best in my opinion when multiple printers have the system and can share components. In this video, I fit a Bigtreetech H2 V2S Revo to my Ender 3, a Revo Micro to a Prusa Mini, and test the new abrasion resistant ObXidian nozzles from E3D.

Some people were just born to teach. Michael, each and every time I walk away more knowledgeable from your work. Thank you!

I have been tinkering with my E3V2 again after not touching it for a while, and decided to finally make the switch to DD. Came across this vid while researching some extruders, and I'm glad I did, because I've been struggling with what direction to go, and whether to change my hotend as well, and now I've decided to jump in with both feet and order up the H2 Revo. Seems like it ticks all the boxes for what I want!

I really appreciate the way you conduct all of your reviews and vids. Tons of info, and transparency. You just saved me from going down a rabbit hole of spending too much on multiple different setups to tinker with to try and find the right one.

My Revo just arrived today and I'm super excited to get an ObXidian nozzle. Leaks and buildup on my current nozzles are what motivated me to go with Revo. If the ObXidian works like brass and picks up even less filament, then I'll be in heaven.

I've been using the Revo for months to print a lot of stuff, including a bunch of Gridfinity boxes, and it's been completely drama free. Been swapping between sizes, and just pre-ordered ObXidian as well so I can run abrasives and anything else I want through. It's a great system that makes nozzle changes sane. Having to muck around with tools and with the nozzle at temp is stone age stuff, and this also eliminates the possibility of leaks at the heat break. Currently just running on a MK3, but any printer I get in the future needs to be Revo compatible.

I have used the Revo on a Mk3S for the last week, approx 150 hours of print time, and I am extremely happy with it so far. I have just pre-ordered the ObXidian nozzle, as like Michael I also want to fit and forget my nozzle regardless of the filament I am using. After replacing my V6 nozzles about every 6 weeks or so (my printer is almost constantly on the go), hopefully these will last a bit longer than the nozzle X from E3D.

Been running a Revo on my Mk3S+ for a few moths now and i love it, i went from never changing nozzles to switching out all the the time now depending on what i am printing. Been waiting on the new ObXidian nozzles so i can try printing with some new filaments, as it is so quick i can see me still using my brass ones for everyday pla prints and then switching them out when i print with anything abrasive.

[MCsCreations]

Pretty impressive indeed!
Thanks, Michael!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[TableTopBiker]

Perfect timing. I just ordered the H2 variant.

[olafb.]

Thanks for the great comparison. The Revo ObXidian seems a really good addition!

[FeveredMind]

Another great video. I am currently in the process of getting REVO set up on my CR-10V2. I'm excited about trying the obxidian nozzles. Might have to ask for one for Christmas.

[sammniamii]

I just found out about these last night... nice. 🙂

[TotoGuy-Original]

i just ordered the BIQU H2 V2S REVO looking forward to it! i felt it had better features than E3D's own model, especially that its smaller and it has more mounting options. im looking forward to taking it apart as soon as i get it

[TheButchersbLock]

I just got a Biqu H2 and just after it arrived I saw the revo version, I would have probably gone for that as it wasn’t that much more expensive. I probably will look for a revo system for my other printer in the future, it seems a pretty cool concept.
Great video as alway sir 👍🇦🇺😊

[cemmy]

3:35 woah! What is that color LCD mod for the i3? Is there a video about it that I missed?

[dirtmcgirt]

I've had a Hemera XS Revo for a few weeks now. I love it so far, about to pre-order the Obxidian as well. I've been getting into glow filaments (Sainsmart PETG & TPU), and while they print quite well quality wise, I can feel the grit on the filament and feel confident it's going to destroy the brass rather rapidly.

[smolzillamakes]

I'm gonna wait for all the preorders to go through so that those who ordered can work through any potential QC and then order one from an American reseller so I don't have to wait 5 months for mine to come in

[ThomasS]

Is there any news on the high flow version of the Revo?

[Twxii]

I switched to a Revo Voron just last week on my Voron V0.1, I previously had a Phaetus Dragon and when changing nozzles it would twist the whole hotend slightly and touch the hotend fan. The Revo Voron form factor makes a lot of sense on a small machine. Only have a 0.4mm nozzle currently but will be looking to get at least a 0.25 and 0.6. The Dragon in my 2.4 is still easy enough to change nozzles.

[ThorstenSchmitz-dqos]

Very interesting, thanks for the review. Since you have both, how would you say the H2 compares to the V6+BMG version? I'm considering the upgrade and have a BMG extruder, but I'm not sure because e.g. the H2 seems very limited regarding fan ducts.

[shuflie]

I've been through a few editions of the revo beta nozzles and until yesterday was sticking with the original beta which was just the heater core as I was using a standard hardened steel nozzle to print Prusament CF PC. Decided to switch over to the final beta (basically the revo micro with two nozzles without the coloured rings) in preparation for the Obsidian coming whenever they sort out their production issues and just run it on regular Prusament PC and standard filaments in the meantime.
