I love seeing manufacturing and 3d printing in mfg settings. I work in mfg (not 3d printing, sadly).

All that white filament. They must go through a lot of nozzles.

Though it's hard to see from the video whether they're using something special like a ruby-tipped one or whatever. Also, maybe a wider nozzle makes a difference.

Does white filament wear out nozzles faster?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Titanium Dioxide is fairly abrasive, and it’s one of the most common white pigments. It could be something else though, that’s just my best guess.

Or a single diamondback nozzle :p
