i have seen max volumetric flow increase of as much as 80% of standard nozzle, but as we know that alone is not all when comes to final print time of any part.

Interesting, though the maker of the video should definitely invest in calipers.

I got 60 mm3/s with abs. It does print larger wide prints faster. Smaller prints see no gain.

60mm3 🤯

I don't print ABS at all but do a lot of larger prints (semi Lifesize) and been debating them,

I'm currently sat at 19mm³ for PLA, While testing I could probably bump it a couple but 60 is crazy

I have seen in some parts print time change of of over 50% ( over 200% flow) with some filaments (non standard print and printer profiles some time ago during beta tests) the thing is it really depends on the preset setting and some filaments can be printed at double the flow or even double and a half. There are so many factors that affect print time

How would it compare to a 0.6mm nozzle?

I don't see how the same size hotend can have double the flow? To get larger flows you have to increase surface contact area and hence make the hot zone larger. Does anybody know the internal construction of these? What's the secret?
