Emulsifiables

Overview

EMO-Type heads are for printing as follows:

• With pastes, gels, emulsifiables or waxes.
• At room or elevated temperatures.
• With or without UV Crosslining.
• With Hyrel Nozzles (1.5mm, 2mm) or Luer Tips.

These include the following:

EMO-Type Head Comparison

Temperature	Ambient	Up to 75°C	Up to 100°C	Up to 150°C
No Crosslinking	EMO-25 SDS-5, -10, -30, -60	VSD-5, -10, -30, -60	VOL-25	KRA-15
With Crosslinking	COD-25 CSD-5, -10, -30, -60	VCS-5, -10, -30, -60	VCD-25	KCD-15

So, what do these goofy designations actually stand for?

EMO: Emulsifiables at Room Temperature

COD: Emulsifiables T Room Temperature with Crosslink On Demand

VOL: Volcano: Heated (up to 100°C) Emulsifiables

VCD: Volcanic Crosslink on Demand

KRA: Krakatoa: Heated (up to 150°C) Emulsifiables

KCD: Krakatoic Crosslink on Demand

KR2: Krakatoa v2: a more robust KRA head with a double gasketed plunger hotter, more viscous Emulsifiables

SDS: Syringe Dispensing System (uses disposable plastic syringes at room temperature)

CSD: Crosslinking Syringe Dispensing System

VSD: Volcanic Syringe Dispensing System

CVS: Crosslinking Volcanic Syringe Dispensing System

As of Sep 2016, the latest firmware is 32V, included with Repetrel 2.828.

Settings

Some settings for the EMO-Type heads (like temperature, prime/unprime values) will vary, depending on what material you are printing with. Nozzle diameter should accurately reflect what nozzle you have loaded (1.6mm is default) AND what path width you sliced for. Temperature commands will be ignored by heads with no temperature control. Having said that, here are our default shipping settings:
