Hot End Build - Help Needed
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 10:32 am
I bought my Rostock back when they had the Indiegogo campaign and it has the older style Hot End.
I have the new style nozzle and I am trying to use it with the Hot End that I have.
The problem is that the PTFE tube that I was sent is approximately 62mm long which means that it sticks out
of the Hot End by approximately 3mm, it was obviously designed to work with a nozzle that was hollow and the
tube fit inside of it. So my dilemma is that the tube is way to long to work with the new nozzle and I cannot
find any documentation on how long the PTFE tube should be to work with the new type of nozzle.
Hopefully someone has already been through this and can tell me how long the tube should be and if it requires
any special taper on the end. Thanks for any help that can be given.
