This is the internal design of the future E3D high speed nozzles, called the FUGE! Unlike the CHT ones, there is no more channelling. Instead, the filament core is warmed up by altering its path while maintaining the same surface area throughout. This is an application of the E3D patent from 2020.

You will obviously notice the close resemblance to Bambu printers. It seems that the enormous quantity of recent BambuLab patents doesn't affect the competition that much. It's not surprising as the patent system in China seems to have different goals; let's see how it evolves in the coming months.
AnyCubic has achieved an impressive level of integration with its Kobra X 3D printer. It doesn't require an AMS-like system; it can handle everything in the toolhead! It also features an automatic filament gears tensioning system. I want to see a teardown!
