    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing module is described. The additive manufacturing module includes an agent distributor to selectively distribute a fabrication agent onto layers of build material. The agent distributor includes at least one fluidic ejection die. Each fluidic ejection die includes a plurality of nozzles arranged along a die length and a die width, the plurality of nozzles arranged such that, for each set of neighboring nozzles, a respective subset of each set of neighboring nozzles are positioned at different die width positions along the width of the fluidic ejection die. The fluidic ejection die also includes, for each respective nozzle of the plurality of nozzles, a respective ejection chamber fluidically coupled to the respective nozzle and for each respective ejection chamber, at least one respective fluid feed hole fluidically coupled to the respective ejection chamber.

    Abstract: According to an example, a method for performing maintenance routines in a plurality of actuators comprises firing a set of actuators at different energies, determining turn on energy values for the set of actuators based on measurements measured via chamber sensors associated with the set of actuators at the different energies, determining turn on energy differences for the set of actuators based on the turn on energy values determined for the set of actuators and threshold turn on energy values associated with the set of actuators, and performing maintenance routines corresponding to the determined turn on energy differences.

    Abstract: An example of a composition includes a host metal present in an amount ranging from about 95.00 weight percent to about 99.99 weight percent, based on a total weight of the composition. A flow additive is present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 weight percent to about 5.00 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition. The flow additive consists of a metal containing compound that is reducible to an elemental metal in a reducing environment at a reducing temperature less than or equal to a sintering temperature of the host metal. The elemental metal is capable of being incorporated into a bulk metal phase of the host metal in a final metal object. The composition is spreadable, having a Hausner Ratio less than 1.25.
