INFLUENCE OF HEAT TRANSFER ON THE NOZZLE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR THE E3D V6 SOLUTION

Abstract

The present study approaches comparative research on the thermal transfer between the components of the plasticizing part of the PLA and ABS type material respectively. It can be observed that besides the fact that the temperature difference between the heating part generated with an electric resistance placed in the heated block and the nozzle is not very large, the thermal transfer is relatively linear with small temperature losses.
