Nozzles

Identification

v6 Nozzle Series
# of Marks Nozzle Size
0 0.25mm
1 0.30mm
2 0.35mm
3 0.40mm
6 (Sorry..) 0.50mm
4 0.60mm
5 0.80mm

Swapping

To swap out a nozzle, you must follow this procedure - being careful not to burn yourself.

  • Unscrew the heat-break from the HeatSink half a turn to be sure you are not tightening against the heat-break in later stages.
  • Heat up your HotEnd to 285*C. Do not overshoot as you risk damaging your thermistor.
  • Remove the existing nozzle from the heater block.
  • Insert the new nozzle.
  • Gripping the heater block tighten the nozzle. Do not apply any torque through the heat-break, they are fragile.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the HotSide to cool.
  • Re-tighten the heat-break into the HeatSink.

v6 Fan Duct

Our fan duct has been carefully designed to direct flow over the fins of the v6 heatsink so that it gets the cooling it needs. The design is for injection moulding but will work just fine when printed. The STL and STEP files are available on thingiverse.
