In this episode I check out Phaetus's booth at RAPID + TCT 2023 and learn more about their latest products, including co-extruded carbon fiber filament, the Phaetus Rapido 2.0, the positron BMS 90 degree angle hotend, tungsten carbide nozzles, the APUS extruder, the DropEffect XG and neXt G hotends, and more.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Maximilian Arnold for chatting with me. This is a man who truly appreciates innovation, engineering, and 3D printer upgrades!

I've known Max for 3 years and he is always like this so - excited and knowledgeable. I have 4 APUS extruders and 2 XG hot ends will be excited when the new version of the XG is ready for sale. One concern I have had is parts availability. I have purchased all of my units from Fabreko who has been great to work with, but doesn't sell replacement heaters - etc, at least yet.

That dark purple rapido looks fire. This is basically the same system that the bambu uses on the X1C for their heating, and really I'm concerned with the effect regarding heat only on one side of the block like that. The benefit to the cylindrical ceramic heaters was even heating all around the filament. Unfortunately this is incredibly hard to measure in terms of the thermal effect. Filament itself acts like its own heatsink, sapping heat away from the center core of the block. When you have heat only emanating from one surface of that block, you're going to get a reduction in overall melt volume. I'd like to see this with the same setup, but with dual ceramic heaters maybe in series and sold as a pair but some empirical testing could easily convince me that single sided heating is fine. Likely I'll be moving to an LSD/Goliath hot end from Vez/Mellow soon anyhow, but the Phaetus Rapido UHF has been my go to for a long time, and it's been ultimately reliable and a joy to work with. Really sad that Slice have done their best to keep competition out of this space, even going so far as to threaten Vez/Mellow with regards to the Goliath. I'll continue purchasing Phaetus and others and #NeverSlice.

Thanks for giving us info on this. By far the coolest booth you have been to. Glad to see that hotends are leaping in innovation.

So 5 months and still no Next-g which is v6 nozzle compatible out for sale, are we getting this anytime soon would like to try one

All of this is so yesterday. Only good thing is 3 point rigid heatblock frame.
If you need volumetric performance is just a goliath / supervolcano / volcano + extenders.

Future is thermal advance algorhytms + low thermal mass high power hotends.
E.g. hardened steel volcano-like nozzles in ceramic isolator + induction heater.

Very cool! I love seeing what Phaetus is working on.

Max seems knowledgeable and proud of the products, which is always a good sign.

Pugwash.

Any idea when the DropEffect neXt G is coming out? As I write, there doesn't seem to be any information about it online.

Awesome! I've been wanting to know more about the 2.0 since they teased it. Thanks Nathan!

This is just a general question. I have an two printers, Artillery Sidewider X1 and a Flsun Q5. Which hotend would be a good upgrade for either printer; for fitment and functionality?
