Replacement nozzle and PTFE pipe
21 June 2022
|By Diego Villa
It’s possible to change the nozzle on the extruders purchased between 2016 and 2018, this allows also different nozzle sizes, faster prints, and greater layer thickness. If you have a Spitfire Extruder, purchased after 2018, you can directly change the cartridge as you can see in this video.
To change the nozzle proceed as follows:
- Manually set the extruder temperature up to 200° through the menu > control > temperature > nozzle > 200°.
- Unscrew the old nozzle with a 5.5mm spanner key and remove it carefully using a cloth in order to avoid getting burnt.
- Replace the nozzle with a new one, screw it until tight.
- Proceed with the manual leveling of the printing bed.
