Do you guys know where I can get some replacement Nozzles and Barrels? I've been looking everywhere and haven't found any. The Solidoodle site only shows a .40mm nozzle and no barrel. Makergear has a "Bighead" nozzle but not sure if it will work. Surely someone has been buying some nozzles somewhere?
the original extruder (sd2) was a makergear stuff... so the big head will work... but for the next gen extruder, i don't know... to my knowing, there is only two type of nozzle .. makergear style and makerbot style
i tried to look for the brass barrel some time ago and gave up, i ended up buying some m6 brass rod (studding) off of ebay for a few pennies.
the idea was to cut the threaded rod to suit (38mm from memory?) and stick it into an upright drill and drill out the centre bore... you would get 5 barrels for next to nothing from one 200mm rod.
the only other concern was the tapered lead in at either end of the barrel. I did plan to see if this would be a problem if this was omitted from the barrel.
I still have the rod so may well cut and drill it to see if its possible.. finding time is the problem at the moment...
cant help with the nozzle, but I'm sure I saw several on the web when trying to find the brass barrell.

Thanks guys. I went ahead and ordered some of the bighead .35mm from makergear and their 36mm taper barrels at both ends. They are 6mmx1 which appears to be right. I did get a response from Solidoodle and apparently the .40mm offered on the site is the replacement they are suggesting as it is less prone to clogging. I'll let you guys know if it works out. They should be here Friday.
Just to followup in case anyone finds this post. The big head nozzles and barrels from makergear are drop in replacements. I got mine in and the are nice.

thanks.. it's good to know that
I bought one off Ebay for 1.75 mm filament. the bore is 2.0 mm and is too small. pushed the barrel out of the peek.

So it just pushed it right out with the threads and all? did this ruin the threads? if so what temps were you running?
