High flow nozzles
What does high flow mean in nozzles? How are these different and do I want to stay with high flow nozzles for my new Core One?

RE: High flow nozzles
High flow nozzles split the molten plastic into separate channels and then recombine at the nozzle tip. They allow you to essentially print faster than a standard nozzle. So for example, a print with a regular nozzle might take 4 hrs but with a high flow maybe 2.5 hrs. Really depends though on the type of filament. A disadvantage of a high flow nozzle is if it clogs it can be difficult to unclog. Also, certain types of filaments have to be printed at slower flow rates so there won't be an advantage to using a HF nozzle in that case. I use both HF and regular depending on what I'm printing and with what material.
