Nozzle Subassembly
Includes the Argon Halo, Manifold, and Tool Interface
NOZZLE FINAL DESIGN
Consists of extended argon halo nozzles which interface directly with the manifold.
Top of Nozzle
Top of Nozzle
Top of nozzle design, where manifold and argon halo interface. The fume extractor barb is also show which connects directly to fluidic loop.
Bottom of Nozzle
Bottom of Nozzle
Argon halo design shown with diverging outlet design to reduce flow speeds. The fume extractor inlet is shown, where fumes form the print bed and recirculated argon inlet are extracted.
NOZZLE ITERATION 2
Second nozzle design included argon halos and diverging outlets for fresh argon.
NOZZLE ITERATION 1
Simple converging-diverging nozzle design provided by sponsors.
