Your though on E3D Revo Roto extruder? (lemmy.ml)

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.

It is undoubtedly an impressive extruder assembly, but the cost is a bit too high for me to consider it. Best of luck to them.

I wouldn't mind spending this money if it is rock solid and good performance. It probably will be reliable and with the Hermes/Hemera gear issue E3D shown they take care if it goes wrong. For me, it fails because of the performance.

Additionally, E3D isn't alone and their prices are already going to the absolute max. they could charge. Currently, I have high hopes for the Smart Orbiter V3 ( https://www.orbiterprojects.com/so3/ ). The v2.0 is very reliable and the v3.0 finally shortens the filament path and adds comfort with the over the top leaver design.
