Re: Different Nozzle Sizes experiment

anything that tiny - regardless of what it is made of, or how it is made - will not be very durable. Just the nature of the of the size. Yes, some may be better than others, but they will all still break easily if too much lateral force is applied (which is easy to do at this size).

Yes, but they seem to Break with No Lateral-force sad
Just shatter with ANY force applied ! sad

Note: the 2 that broke were mounted in a Dremel drill-press ,
with nozzle mounted in a vise , not allowing it to move.

Re: Different Nozzle Sizes experiment

I put in the real .4mm nozzle and it is Not as good as .3mm, when printing Small objects.
.4mm will be Great for Large objects, that don't need as much detail, tho.

I wish it was Easier to Change Nozzles .  LOL smile
(I worry about breaking wires to heater-block)
