Zatsit printer

@zatsit Thanks for that. As I thought, it's not a simple process. Would you open to the idea of just supplying this part? I don't have a delta so the complete kit is of no interest to me. I would be needing batches of at least 6 and possible 12 at a time.
Also, you didn't answer my second question which was how you cut the tube to length. If you don't want to answer that, I fully understand but if that is the case, could you supply shorted lengths of this tube?

Yes, all accessories, including this adapter for Hot-end watercooling, are available independently of the Zatsit kit, during the campaign on Kickstarter, and then on the online shop that will follow.Take a look at the Kickstarter page, it says it all!
To manufacture this adapter, I use a specially modified small lathe with a special saw to cut the tube straight, and without blurr.

Probably.... What do you have in mind?

I'd rather not say at this time. As this is getting way off topic, is it OK if I PM you?

@deckingman
Yes, of course. -
Now I am imagining very interesting uses for the tube... hmmm...

Yes, this small stainless steel tube, thus cooled, opens up a whole bunch of possibilities, which I am currently developing, and which I hope to be able to offer after Kickstarter.1 - The volume of the Hot End can be divided by 5, and the weight reduced by 3, by directly integrating a miniature nozzle at the bottom of the tube. It is the tube+nozzle assembly that would become interchangeable, rather than the nozzle only.
2 - These miniaturized hot-ends make it possible to have a very light extrusion head, of the Direct/remote type, with two or four independent extrusion channels, but with a single drive motor, in the Flystruder position. I have already made a single-track version, which works extremely well.
Delta printers have great qualities, but they were generally limited by their single-channel Bowden tube. With 4 printable materials, you can imagine the possibilities!

Congratulation for the successful campaign!

@Zatsit it would be cool if you could get an example config for the Duet out when you start shipping, so it can be added to https://configurator.reprapfirmware.org
Would make it a lot faster for us to get up and running with a known good config!
I just need to sell my CNC laser now so my wife isn't so mad when she hears I've got to pay for yet another successful Kickstarter
3/3 Kickstarters backed and delivered so far, got my hopes up that this makes 4/4!

Just after the end of the KS campaign, two new pages will appear on my website www.zatsit.fr : STORE and DOWNLOADS.You will be able to download the configurations for the different systems I was able to try, including of course Duet WiFi.
