@plasticfactory I would be interested in seeing if there are any differences in the consistency of the extrudate size compared to a standard nozzle I would also be interested to see if the improvements made to the nozzle since the previous tests had any effect on the surface finish of parts, or line consistency.

@plasticfactory the base of the stringing test with the ADV nozzle appears much smoother/flatter than the other one. Is it just the picture or can you see a difference as well? On a side note, earlier in the thread you said you have a toolchanger, how has that turned out? It seems like a very solid system to base a printer on.

Edit: I has a other idea for a test you could run, idk if this is what you mean in an earlier post, but I will ask anyway. When you calibrate linear advance on Marlin it extrudes multiple lines with varying speed, teaching tech has an excellent video on how it works if you don't know what I mean (though I would guess you do, you seem quite experienced with 3d printing), but I wonder if the ADV nozzle would offer improved properties in this 'test'. I could see the flow properties allowing changes in speed that should be synced with the extruder (I think firmware does this but I'm not sure) to require less compensation in this test. Another example of this sort of test is the Bambu Labs X1 auto/self calibration function.

Edit 2: I think the larger diameter of the nozzle tip would unnecesarily heat the plastic, requiring aditional cooling to compensate. All of the cheap nozzles I have also have larger tip diameters and seem to perform worse it that area.
