Apparently if you need higher flow rates you can just straight up swap out the nozzle from a V6 to a volcano, no need for special orientation of the heater:
Adding some additional nuts or insulation helps but is not required.
There is also the
CHT nozzle, released last year:
- Cost is about $20
- Same sort of performance as volcano
- Advantage is your Z height would be preserved
Or DIY CHT, some ways to attempt:
- Press fit a copper/brass rod into the nozzle, drill out a few holes (you'll need some small size drills and a good drill press)
- Press fit in some flat plates, maybe two at opposite angles, could even use an old penny (easiest method?)
- Solder in some flat plates or copper wires (if press fitting isn't secure or doesn't work)
- Drill and install copper wires, solder, as shown in the youtube channel above
The clones are using some press fit drilled method with copper:
No sign of solder that I see. Copper is theoretically best material to use, but in reality brass or aluminum would likely work as well.
I wouldn't buy a clone considering how expensive it is.
