Random Flow Generator - Nozzle

[RaymondL]

I don't know the truth to this, but I came across the person who invented the original "Random Flow Generator" concept nozzle, which he claimed that he designed and shared with the public back in 2015 after refinements. Shortly after that someone took that design and started to sell them to form a company as it is today that 3D prints the nozzles and sells for crazy high prices.

I downloaded the project file and printed my own today and gave thanks to this designer who I'm assuming he is the rightful owner of this invention. Save myself $30 and gave credit to the person who actually created the product.

You can always email/pm me if you want the last ones I designed back in 16/17 which I haven’t shared. 2021 shared the prior versions.

Any confirmed file for a working RFG nozzle that's as good as original?
Tia!

Is VCA selling these with your blessing?

 

[ColorMeGone]

A guy on ebay also sells them but they are less than $10 I believe.

Is VCA selling these with your blessing?

I don't believe so to the best of my knowledge, and I hope I"m wrong - a company that takes ones design/idea and now is in the industry getting the profits in from the original creator is terrible. I refuse to purchase such as a result.
