E3D has launched a new drop-in replacement hot end for Bambu Lab’s X1 and P1 series of 3D printers that improves flow rates and kits systems out with ObXidian nozzles.
The release is a collaboration officially licensed by Bambu Lab, serving as the company’s “first step to embrace the aftermarket” according to a blog post about the release. The hot ends are aimed at abrasive materials, boasting hardened-tipped ObXidian nozzles for improved durability with an E3DLC coating that works to reduce filament clogging. They can also achieve a 60% increase in flow rate compared to the X1 and P1 series’ stock hot ends, E3D claims.
“By incorporating the E3D upgrade into Bambu Lab 3D printers, we propel ourselves forward, amplifying printer performance, pushing the boundaries of what our printers can achieve, and enhancing the user experience,” Dr. Ye Tao, Bambu Lab Founder and CEO, said in a press release. “This collaboration strengthens our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art 3D printing solutions that empower creators.”
The Bambu Lab ObXidian High Flow Hot Ends are now available on E3D’s website for ~$75 (£60) in both 0.4 and 0.6 mm bore sizes – though they’ve quickly been labeled out of stock.
In addition, Bambu Lab has told All3DP that it will donate 50% of its royalty payments to the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation, which was established last year in honor of E3D cofounder Sanjay Mortimer to support neurodivergent individuals in the field of engineering.
