Complete Toolheads without nozzles?

Hi @Zoe_M

I thought I’d ask this in here so people that /might/ be interested could see the answer rather than a support ticket…

I wouldn’t mind having a complete toolhead spare ready to Hot Swap for nozzle changes or say blob of death - Currently the only option for a complete toolhead comes with a standard nozzle, which I don’t need anymore of those so wondering if SM have considered offering the toolhead with either a hardened steel nozzle or the complete unit bare of nozzle for me to fit as I choose please?

Doesn’t make sense to sell a tool head with a stainless steel nozzle that most people won’t use. I’d much rather buy a tool head with a hardened steel nozzle even if it cost a little bit more.

That’s definitely something they should consider. That got me thinking though with the hot swap. I want to try using PETG and am worried about any leftover in the nozzle when i go back to PLA. Could i basically just have an extra toolhead that’s only PETG and say just swap head 4 out whenever i want to use it? Then swap it back out when i go back to PLA. would that mess up calibrations or anything?

As long as the nozzle size is he same, i.e. like 0.4 mm, it does not matter. You can install a hardened steel nozzle in TH4 and leave the others with stainless steel.

Glad I’m not the only one thinking about this then :+1:t3:

I’d also like SM to offer the toolhead without nozzles. That way, you could individually equip it with separately purchased nozzles for quick nozzle changes.

That is a good idea, didn’t think of that. That would be the way to go.

Does this count as a feature request?
