Cold Flow is our term for fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at room temperature, with or without UV Crosslinking.

Warm Flow is our term for fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at elevated temperatures, with or without UV Crosslinking.

Materials for Cold and Warm Flow

Cold and Warm Flow 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.

The following materials can be printed from Cold Flow heads. Note that more viscous materials may not be suitable for plastic syringes or smaller luer tips.

The following materials can be printed from Warm Flow heads. Note that more viscous materials may not be suitable for plastic syringes or smaller luer tips, or may print more easily at higher temperatures.

Heads for Cold and Warm Flow

Cold Flow is available through the following heads:

Warm Flow is available through the following heads:

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
SMH-2
VSD-30 VOL-25 KRA-15
KR2-15
With Crosslinking COD-25
CSD-5, -10, -30, -60
VCS-30 VCD-25 KCD-15
KC2-15

So, what do these goofy designations actually stand for?

EMO: Emulsifiables at Room Temperature - Low to Medium Viscosity
COD: Emulsifiables T Room Temperature with Crosslink On Demand - Low to Medium Viscosity
VOL: Volcano: Heated (up to 100°C) Emulsifiables - Low to Medium Viscosity
VCD: Volcanic Crosslink on Demand - Low to Medium Viscosity
KRA: Krakatoa: Heated (up to 150°C) Emulsifiables - High Viscosity
KCD: Krakatoic Crosslink on Demand - High Viscosity
KR2: Krakatoa v2: a more robust KRA head with a double gasketed plunger hotter, more viscous Emulsifiables - Very High Viscosity
KC2: Krakatoic Crosslink v2; KR2 with Crosslink - Very High Viscosity
SDS: Syringe Dispensing System (uses disposable plastic syringes at room temperature) - Low Viscosity
CSD: Crosslinking Syringe Dispensing System - Low to Medium Viscosity
VSD: Volcanic Syringe Dispensing System - Low to Medium Viscosity
CVS: Crosslinking Volcanic Syringe Dispensing System - Low to Medium Viscosity
DSD: Dual Syringe Dispenser, dispensing two-part mixtures at a fixed ratio - Low to Medium Viscosity
SMH: Static Mixing Head, blending your ratio of material through a baffled nozzle - Low to Medium Viscosity

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

Settings for Cold and Warm Flow Heads

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:
