Hot Tightening Guide
The Volcano nozzle Hot tightening guide focuses on the hotside; the process is the same regardless of the cold side.
Brass
- Using the onboard LCD or web interface heat the Volcano Hotside assembly up to 285°C. Wait roughly a minute at 285°C to allow the different materials to equalise in temperature.
- Using a 7mm spanner and an adjustable wrench, tighten the unit.
- You are aiming for 2Nm of torque here; if you apply too much pressure at this stage, you will risk shearing either the nozzle or HeatBreak. If you are concerned, we recommend the use of a torque wrench set to 2Nm.
Plated Copper
- Using the onboard LCD or web interface, heat the Volcano Hotside assembly 20°C higher than the temperature you will be printing at. Wait roughly a minute at the set temperature to allow the different materials to equalise in temperature.
- Using a 7mm spanner and an adjustable wrench, tighten the unit.

Maximum Volumetric Flow Rates
- The maximum achievable flow rate of a HotEnd is dependent on a number of factors and as a result, cannot be accurately portrayed in one single value. Line width, layer height, print temperature and extrusion force (as well as other factors) can all have an effect on the maximum achievable flow rate.
More on this in the testing procedure outlined below.
- This document provides flow rates per Nozzle size and filament type. These values have been validated by our in-house Engineering team and offer a reasonable estimate of what you can expect to get from your Revo Nozzles. This is a live document and it may be updated to reflect our most up-to-date values.
- Your own 3D Printer setup and filament choice will have an effect on the maximum VFR you can achieve so bear this in mind when referring to these values.
