Replace nozzle end

Post by samschad »

Afternoon-
I need to replace my .5 nozzle for the first time (pretty sure I have a clog, since only a very small line of filament is coming out and I've made no other recent changes. Was printing beautifully until yesterday). I want to try a .35 nozzle anyway.

I've searched the web, but was wondering if there's a best practice for changing just the nozzle one on the Rostock V2

Many thanks!

You'll probably want to heat the nozzle up when you unscrew it, 230ish. I've used a propane torch to remove stubborn ABS from the nozzle, but don't do that when it's still attached to the hotend. That way you can inspect the inside for burrs or other issues.

Other than that, just the basic re-calibration and change the settings in the slicer.

Kas-
Thank you! I knew it was simple, but just wanted to make sure. Printed a beautiful print last night with the .35 nozzle.
