RE: Anyone try Diamondback nozzles?
Interesting topic.
After reading again the whole thread. my five cents in the matter are that these nozzles look near perfect, with one drawback: increased oozing and stringing. Lowering the temperature 5-10 degrees seems the answer, but I don’t think that the superior heat transfer of diamond plays a significant role here, That could be the case if the whole nozzle was made of diamond. Being only the small tip, the difference in real temperature of the filament, using diamondback vs copper/brass nozzles must be negligible, I think that the reason of the increased stringing resides on the exceptional low friction coefficient of diamond. At the same temperature, molten filament tends to slip down at a higher rate than with metal or TC nozzles. Therefore, lowering some degrees the temperature fixes quite well the stringing issue .. at the cost of worse interlayer adhesion. There’s no free lunch.
IMHO nozzles made totally of TC are the best compromise, considering price, lifespan and all the other factors involved.

Diamondback Nozzles in my MK4 for a year. Working well. You can lower temp by 5-10c lower, but I often run without adjusting temp. ASA, PETG and PLA working well. I use normal procedures for keeping tip clean, filament in good shape and sheet adhearing well.
Startup oozing problems eliminated when I installed the MMU3. Z set is done with no filament loaded. Filament is unloaded at the end of a print.

I reduced my extrusion multiplier to 0.92 for PETG-CF, and increase retraction to 1.5mm. It is now delivering the best prints I've ever done, with glassy top layers (I reduce the width of the two top layers to 0.42). I'm quite cuffed with this nozzle overall, and knowing it'll never wear out is a plus!
