The Olsson Ruby was started by Anders a research engineer at Uppsala University. He was carrying out neutron particle experiments and required a material that absorbed neutrons. His solution was adding Boron Carbide to 3D Printer Filament. Boron carbide is one of the hardest materials known to man, and this quickly wore out normal brass nozzles. Anders needed a solution, the Olsson Ruby was the solution. Rubys can be machined to shape and will resist nearly abrasive material, imbedding a ruby inside a brass nozzle was the perfect solution.
