    One thing I like to see on battery reviews is testing of their actual capacity vs stated capacity. So often they fall short, sometimes very short. The two models you reviewed look pretty nice so hopefully they didn't cheap out on the actual batteries but for me if I'm traveling the usable capacity is the most important factor.

    I really wanted to do this! It was just too time-consuming to run them both dry multiple times. If I review a similar device, I'll splice some ammeters into the board to figure out how much power the frilly features actually waste.

To the point it defies the laws of physics and what the style of battery is capable of. A sort of comparison would be if you had a huge honking truck battery rated at 1000+ CCA and then you open up the shell and inside is a tiny little lawn and garden battery with 150 CCA. So yeah, some batteries are close but not exactly. But some of the lesser brand stuff just blatantly lies.

You reviewed the components that mattered (not just those that were advertised) and that's an amazingly complex thing to do.

No.. obviously we would all prefer a Gwagon or Ferrari or something but no one is offering me a Ferrari for free! That Honda Civic is the best within my context, the context being my financial situation.

Allegedly the lead cannot vaporize while soldering so it's not neuro toxic, you'd have to eat the lead for it to harm you. The reason it isn't commonly used any more in large enterprise made products is because when the products get thrown away, the lead goes into the environment.

There is only a very small piece of ruby and most of the tip is still plain brass and lots of plastics stick to the nozzle but it printed very nicely through its whole life.

I have gone through at least 10 kg without having to clean my nozzle even once even though AzureFilm recommends to use a 0.6 nozzle. But ... with the new Arachne perimeter generation in the slicer a 0.6 nozzle delivers results that are as good as a 0.4 nozzle with traditional perimeter generation.

    Those Diamondback nozzles...whoa. I've been mulling over switching from cheap Chinesium nozzles on my Ender 3 to a CHT, but maybe I'll only do that for giant nozzles and go with a Diamondback for more normal sizes. The one pitfall of my CHT plan was for abrasive filaments, since the hardened CHTs don't yet seem to be out, and that wouldn't be a problem with a Diamondback. To the Amazon wish list they go!

    CHT for abrasives are coming soon :) Seen the prototypes and they are looking every bit as awesome as the brass CHT. You should upgrade for sure, there is honestly no better nozzles for V6 hotends. Sure there are copies that will perform close to the CHT:s, but the longevity of the CHT is incredible. Been printing with the same 0.4 and 0.6 CHT for over a year, thousands of hours, and they perform as new. Oh, and I'm running PLA at 100-150mm/s and TPU at 70mm/s on my Ender 3 with a Bondtech BMG direct drive and Phaetus Dragonfly V6 hotend

I also very much appreciate how you went into this with more of an attitude of "would I use or buy this" rather than if it's good or not. Not only do we get to see the quality of the items that you reviewed but got an idea of if it's worth the time to even go back and look at it more. TL;DR - Even though you did a product review, your method and execution were signifacantly more valuable than other reviews/reviewers out there.

    60/40 is perfectly ok for hobbyists. Yes, lead is neurotoxin but that is not at all risky to use. The reason it is removed from MASS PRODUCTION is in the words "mass" and "production". When you are doing tens of boards, you can't use 60/40. If you are doing single boards and prototypes, use 60/40. For beginners especially since every single lead free solder is more difficult to use.

    They still use SnPb in aerospace and medical devices because tin blight and tin whiskers become a huge problem when you take the lead out of solder. If they tried to use lead free solder in a space probe there is a good chance that it would no longer be working by the time it gets to where it's going. Also pure lead metal is low risk it's lead compounds such as lead oxide that are dangerous.

    @@atomicskull6405 The interesting thing about whiskers is that we still are not sure why it happens. And that it has been filmed once, there are about ten image slide of it... Because it is probabilistic, rare and we don't know how to reproduce it, it means documenting it as it is growing is incredibly difficult. You need thousands of solder joins be photographed at macro level just in case one of them spurts a whisker in the next 20 years. I believe the current hypothesis is crystal growth, caused by the immense pressure at the surface, which in turn is caused by cooling happening from the outside in, which then compresses the skin until it starts to form crystals, and then all that force has a way to "escape" by making the molecule arrangement more energy efficient. Lead acts as a "rolling bearings", so that molecules can slide past each other, relaxing the forces that come from skin being compressed.
