Great Hotend Mechanism

I see, do you know what is the spec of the nozzle that the A350 comes with?

It is a 0.4mm brass Mk8 style nozzle. M6 threads. I used these:

Thank you @DroneOn, but my question isn’t what are you using, but what comes with the machine. Cheers :slight_smile:

Oops I misunderstood. The nozzles that come assembled on the hotend are brass Mk8 nozzles of 0.4 size. My A350 came with one spare complete hotend.

Have you experimented other nozzles, such as reinforced ones, for example to print more abrasive material? Cheers!

Not on the SM but I run Nozzle Xs on my Prusas. You have to be careful which nozzle you choose because it can’t be much longer than the stock nozzle or the Z probe may not trigger.

Thank you for the advice! Do we have any thread centralizing information about Nozzles? Brand, models and sizes that worked? Cheers!

You’re welcome. We do not have such a thread to my knowledge.

@staff What’s the possible for us to have something like that? May be in the FAQ section?

I would also love to know how to separate the nozzle from the hotend… somehow I have not been able to twist it off, and I’d hate to break a hotend…

can someone tell me?

Heat the hotend to 170 degrees, hold the block with a wrench and unscrew the nozzle.

Okay, last one…

I got the nozzle out and printing now with a 0.8mm with 0.5mm offset in octoprint due to it being slightly higher.

is it possible to do bedleveling somehow with an offset too?
As it’s a bit higher the nozzle pushes into the plate when bedleveling

If your Z probe is at the correct level (1mm) and the new nozzle is 0.5mm longer ( I think this is what you mean) then it may be a stretch to get an accurate result from the Z probe. I recommend you disable the Auto-cal and use manual calibration for the bed.

Have your hand on the power switch just in case the machine tries to bury the nozzle in the bed when switching to manual calibration.

Recall all that grade school math you thought was useless? if the radius is cut in half, the area is cut to 1/4. So that is 1/4 the volume for the same nozzle speed, ignoring viscosity effects which do not scale linearly.

man that comment you replied to is a year old lol

And that’s not a problem at all I guess.
