Nozzle.... flattened

Post by Pekish79 » Fri Dec 18, 2015 2:11 am

Just pointing out my .35 nozzle was printing weird lately i though it was my pla that got some extra humidity or a bad roll then i needed this part real precise (some trees) so i decided to switch the all hothead with a new one (i recently got extra 2 one for PETG and one just in case)

while replacing and cleaning a bit everything i look at the new nozzle and it look way different it should be exactly the same .35 again but it look so tall elegantly pointy while my old one look fat and short then i measure the nozzle it was .46

-___- somehow i chopped the tip of it and didn't notice and i printed half of the model with that thing i was wondering why it was so hard to make stuff precise and was blaming it all on the low quality PLA...


If you didnt check ur nozzle lately and if the printer print weird maybe don't blame only the filament

Huh! That's like the one that went from .35mm to 3.0mm. :? (Might have a problem with the manufacturer.)

Better let Rick know.
