V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle 1.75mm x 0.8mm DocumentationOverviewThe V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle is a high-performance extruder nozzle designed for 3D printing applications. It features a brass construction, a 1.75mm diameter inlet, and a 0.8mm diameter outlet. This nozzle is optimized for use with Volcano-style hotends and is suitable for printing with a wide range of thermoplastic materials.Technical SpecificationsInlet diameter: 1.75mm
Outlet diameter: 0.8mm
Material: Brass
Length: 30mm
Thread: M6 x 1.0Code Examples### Example 1: Marlin Firmware ConfigurationTo use the V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle with Marlin firmware, you'll need to configure the extruder settings in the `Configuration.h` file. Here's an example:
```c++
#define EXTRUDER_NOZZLE_SIZE 0.8
#define EXTRUDER_NOZZLE_LENGTH 30// ... other configuration settings ...void extruder_init() {
// Set the extruder nozzle size and length
extruder.set_nozzle_size(EXTRUDER_NOZZLE_SIZE);
extruder.set_nozzle_length(EXTRUDER_NOZZLE_LENGTH);
}
```
In this example, we define the nozzle size and length as constants, and then set these values in the `extruder_init()` function.### Example 2: Python Script for G-Code GenerationHere's an example Python script that generates G-code for a 3D printing job using the V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle:
```python
import numpy as np# Define the nozzle diameter and layer height
nozzle_diameter = 0.8
layer_height = 0.2# Define the print bed dimensions and origin
bed_x = 200
bed_y = 200
origin_x = 100
origin_y = 100# Generate the G-code
gcode = "; Generated by Python script
"
gcode += f"; Nozzle diameter: {nozzle_diameter}mm
"
gcode += f"; Layer height: {layer_height}mm
"
gcode += f"G28 ; Home all axes
"
gcode += f"G1 F300 ; Set feed rate to 300 mm/min
"# Add layer change commands and layer data
for layer_z in np.arange(0, 10, layer_height):
gcode += f"G1 Z{layer_z:.2f} ; Move to layer {layer_z:.2f}mm
"
gcode += f"G1 F900 ; Set feed rate to 900 mm/min
"
gcode += "; Layer data goes here...
"
gcode += f"G1 F300 ; Set feed rate to 300 mm/min
"gcode += "G28 ; Home all axes
"
gcode += "M107 ; Turn off extruder motor
"print(gcode)
```
In this example, we define the nozzle diameter and layer height, and then generate a G-code string using Python's `numpy` library. The script generates a simple G-code file that moves the extruder to different layers and prints a simple layer pattern.### Example 3: C++ Code for Robotics ApplicationHere's an example C++ code snippet that demonstrates how to use the V6 Volcano Brass Length Extruder Nozzle in a robotics application:
```cpp
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <Stepper.h>// Define the extruder stepper motor pins
#define STEPPER_DIR_PIN 2
#define STEPPER_STEP_PIN 3
#define STEPPER_ENABLE_PIN 4// Define the nozzle diameter and length
#define NOZZLE_DIAMETER 0.8
#define NOZZLE_LENGTH 30Stepper extruder_stepper(STEPPER_DIR_PIN, STEPPER_STEP_PIN);void setup() {
// Initialize the extruder stepper motor
extruder_stepper.setEnablePin(STEPPER_ENABLE_PIN);
extruder_stepper.setMicrostepMode(MICROSTEP_16);
extruder_stepper.setStepsPerRev(200);
}void loop() {
// Move the extruder to a specific position
extruder_stepper.moveTo(100);
delay(500);// Extrude material at a specific rate
extruder_stepper.setSpeed(50);
extruder_stepper.run();
delay(2000);// Retract the extruder
extruder_stepper.setSpeed(-50);
extruder_stepper.run();
delay(2000);
}
```
In this example, we define the extruder stepper motor pins and initialize the stepper motor in the `setup()` function. We then define a `loop()` function that moves the extruder to a specific position, extrudes material at a specific rate, and retracts the extruder.Note: These code examples are for illustration purposes only and may require modifications to work with your specific hardware and software setup.
