Don't forget, all of the parts pictured were actually produced by the same facility - even though branded across different lines.
I always remember this
For me, testing across a broad range of the available parts - I have every Micorn combination produced, and a few "Miron like" candidates - what I see is that the Olympos style set up produces the finest atomization, or grain to the spray, while the larger nozzle, short taper of the Iwata style Micron produces the cleanest edges, and smallest details with less tip dry as a bonus.
I see.
All micron combinations and candidates have the same style air cap with one, as I think, big mistake.
My goal is to get those cleanest edges possible for the smallest details possible that can be done with an AB. It's what AB manufacturers have not reached yet. Detail airbrush must be the best.
Airbrushes for not detail works are widely spread, there's no big reason to improve them much. I already have improved chinese ABs with the results equal or above mid range japanese. Someone might say: what for to improve chinese? The answer is: equal or better performance for less cash. Besides, even chinese "microns" can spray like japanese after installing smth, you know that well
You're right HP nozzles are good, I was surprised, when I did my first improvements to "C" and 101 about a year ago and was impressed how things went. It was one of the reasons to consider some features from those models and to implement them in the head. BTW, the head base I've improved is not like stock one.
If to talk about the heads like product either, all parties would be more satisfied with the price if non micron nozzles would be used, o,2mm etc
Besides, even 0,3mm nozzle would be good to use in that so called "micron" technology.
I am working with not just nozzle size, or air cap size, but the relationship between them... and then the needle.
With the air cap size we're bound to the material nozzle size.
I'm sure that the most important thing is the air cap, all other things could improve the performance not that much. I already have tried the proofs. I wonder what you'll come up with and what your conclusions will be.
BTW, have you already ordered special custom made tools for your work?
In this case we're talking about the needle is not that important, as I think.
They were two steps close to get HP work like detail AB when they manufactured 200's. If the hole would be less in diameter then, than they would be one step close
If everything I've got in my mind now would be implemented then, more likely, we wouldn't have to break our minds now how to get that the best possible performance.
And I'm waiting with great anxiety your tests results!!![emoji847]
Me either!
So, in waiting for further AB achievements, let's play some game!
Guess what model was this before the customization?
