Topic: E3D Nozzles

where has everyone else gone to purchase difference diameter nozzles for their E3D hotend?

I see that there are some at http://e3d-online.com/Extra-Nozzles/E3D … ss-Nozzles , but i dont want to pay over $30 for a single nozzle.

has anyone made their own nozzle?

Re: E3D Nozzles

Tim sells them on his store
http://www.filastruder.com/collections/ … are-nozzle

Unfortunately I had purchased them before he put them up on his site but I ordered some from him after so I could have more inventory.

Powder coated steel enclosure, 1/4" Surface grounded hardened aluminum plate, MK2A Heat bed, .200 Polished fused quartz plate, Machined quick change hot bed mount, E3D hot end, Ramps 1.4, DRV8825 stepper motor drivers

Re: E3D Nozzles

Yes, good place to order. I need a .6

While we are on the subject, What do you guys do to change nozzles. The instructions recommend 300C for tightening. I would rather not take my abs filled nozzle that hot. I suppose I could switch to nylon before I change the tip?

Re: E3D Nozzles

thanks, just ordered one.

Re: E3D Nozzles

You don't need filament in the nozzle to tighten it

You can use a 7mm nut driver to tighten the nozzle

Re: E3D Nozzles

I ordered my E3D from Filastruder, they shipped fast.....Turns out I ordered the 3mm instead of the 1.75mm DOH! so I get ahold of em, and they shipped me the right one, just had me ship mine back. Super easy to deal with, I'd order my nozzles from them too. Make sure if you order a E3D, you select the 1.75mm (its on 3mm by default) so you dont do the same thing I did.

I meant per the instruction the initial tightening requires you to take the temp up to 300C. I dont want to run my ABS that hot and have it emit toxic fumes. Or maybe I am just being paranoid.

Re: E3D Nozzles

You only have to run that temp temporarily to tighten the nozzle.
You never have to run any filament through that temp.

Once your done tightening the nozzle you can then set the temp to an abs appropriate temp
to extrude

Sounds good. I wasn't sure if the leftover ABS in there would be a problem.

Anyone have any tips on drilling out the tip of a hotend? I want to take a .6 nozzle up to 1.0 for T-glase.

Re: E3D Nozzles

Should be easier to drill since you have a pilot hole already
this guy does it by hand with a .4mm so that tells you doing a 1.0mm nozzle would be easier if you have a pilot hole
