Today E3D launched their latest extruder. What’s your thought on the Revo roto?
only/first Reviews: Made with layers (formally Thomas Sanladerer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5UpN0QaxGY E3D launch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6GxPZUM0k4 product page: https://e3d-online.com/products/roto-extruder
155 GBP (without tax) for the sensor version. Equipped with a normal brass nozzle and a low-power heater core.
The pushing force isn’t great as it can’t do more than 6mm/s (14mm^3/s, approx. 60g/hour) limiting it to 0.15, 0.25 and 0.4mm nozzles. That’s significantly short of the E3D Hemera XS Revo performance they claimed this extruder matches.
Is 14mm^3/s enough for 200 USD+ extruder for 2024 and beyond if you could trade approx. 20g more weight for 4x the max. flowrate?

14mm³ isn’t even enough for an ender imho. Sensor is cool and all but it’s about the same cost as a vzhextrudort and Goliath or basically any other high-end hotend and extruder combo.
