Creality 3D Printer 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm MK8 Brass Nozzles and Hardened Steel Extruder Nozzles Kit for Ender 3 Series and CR-10 Series [10 Pcs]

Product Information

If you own an Ender 3 (Pro or V2) 3D printer, then you know it is an excellent machine for both beginners and experienced users. The Ender Extender 400 Z Height Kit extends the Ender 3’s Z-height to 400 mm, which is almost far more than the Ender’s standard 250 mm. Just be sure to not damage the printer when pulling from the filament, since you may need to put in a little extra force to get it out. Use a Cleaning Filament To use it simply load it into your printer like you would with any regular filament (with Direct drive printers). If your printer uses a Bowden setup, then it’s advisable to remove the Bowden tube first and to manually feed the filament into the hotend. The Creality Ender 3 (Pro/V2) series remain great 3D printers for the money and offer excellent value for beginner 3D printing needs. The 0.4 mm brass nozzle is ideal for heat transfer, price, and printing with non-abrasive filaments such as PLA and ABS. If you do want to print with more exotic filament types of an abrasive nature, you can use steel nozzles that offer high wear resistance to these materials.

The 0.4 mm nozzle diameter, too, provides a great middle-ground between print quality and speed. You can print layers with a height as small as 0.12 mm and as high as 0.28 mm. This premium kit delivers a superb extruder grip on the filament, leading to precise control, responsive retractions, and near-flawless print quality.This 3D printer is popular because it allows you to achieve high-precision 3D printing at an attractive price point. Resolution: Large nozzle sizes cannot print thin perimeters (X and Y axes), which limits the XY resolution of the print. This can be an issue when, for example, printing text or patterns onto the top face of a part. If this is the case, you may need to increase the fan speed for both the part cooling fan and the controller board fan by going into “Settings>Printer>Manage Printer>Machine Settings” inside of Cura and then increasing the “Fan Speed (%)” settings for both fans accordingly. Filament Not Inserted Properly One advantage of stainless steel nozzles is that they contain no lead, making them the best choice for printing in food-grade or even medical-grade filaments. Hardened steel

If you want ease and convenience and want to avoid having to tweak code yourself, then Creality’s selection of official firmware updates is the way to go. If you want to print something larger, then this method might not work for you since the first layer might get squished on the outer parts of the bed but not be close enough in the center. Manual Mesh Bed Leveling Heating makes the filament easier to remove. Then, take a needle and insert it into the nozzle hole. I’m sad to say that most Ender 3’s don’t ship with a completely flat bed but rather with one that is generally warped in the middle, and this can cause all kinds of problems because leveling the bed by using the method I just described, going around the corners only, will leave the center of the bed a lot lower than the outer portion.With a larger diameter nozzle, you’ll be able to print models with a larger layer height and layers that are wider than usual. This leads to fewer layers and faster print speeds. On a large 3D printer, this is especially useful, as it shortens print time. I was leveling with the '1 sheet of paper' method. I started using two sheets of paper. To compensate for reduced bed adhesion I use hairspray. This may require you to calibrate your printer, but it is worth it if it prevents clogs. Filament Quality Issues The low price, popularity, dedication to open source, and number of online guides and documentation are great, but it’s the broader range of functionality and features on offer that really appeals to me.

Some people recommend cleaning the nozzle more often (every 3-5 prints), while others recommend cleaning it less often (every 10-15 prints). Ultimately, it depends on how much gunk and filament residue accumulates on the nozzle, and how much of a difference it makes in terms of print quality. Now, I would recommend doing a couple cold pulls before unscrewing the nozzle to remove as much material as possible first. Once you remove the nozzle you have two options; remove the gunk mechanically or using solvents. Clean the nozzle using solvents (ABS, PLA)Generally speaking, you should preheat the printer and start a print as soon as it reaches the desired temperature. Leaving it preheating for 30 minutes could cause some problems. Since I installed the glass bed, printing has become a lot easier since I’m now printing on top of a flatter surface. So, try it out! When materials increase in temperature they expand, and this is exactly what happens to the bed when you head it up, which means that if you calibrate the Z offset, or if you level the bed while it’s cold, as soon as it heats up for printing it will expand and move closer to the nozzle, which will mess with your settings. Manual Calibration Whenever you try a new nozzle, it is always a good idea to run some test prints to get a better idea of the settings you need to change.
