I know there’s a 0.6 and a 0.8mm, but can’t find a 0.1mm option…
The lowest they go is 0.2mm
Hello @GreyArea ,
I am not sure you can get a .1 nozzle for a consumer printer.
If you could, yo wold have to write your own setp for it and that would be a pain.
Apart from which, print times would be way way longer.
Cheers.
And with 0.2mm it don’t work with their parameters, constant jamming.
I have printed successfully with a 0.2 mm nozzle on the K2, but it did require a lot of fiddling to get dialled in correctly and even then would clog/jam occasionally. So, I’d really not go any lower. Also keep in mind that while going from 0.2 to 0.1 doesn’t sound like much of a difference, a 0.1 mm nozzle has only about a quarter the cross section area of a 0.2
Can you share the parameters you’ve used for this? I’ve tried several modifications, mainly flow and speed with no results. Coulnd’t print any model without jamming.
Sorry for the late response! One important thing is a very good bed mesh. My K2 is modified with a cartographer probe and I use min 10 minutes heat soaking of the bed before every print. Otherwise it keeps warping and some jams can be caused by the distance of the nozzle to the bed being too small. Heat creep is the other big factor , I removed the shroud of the print head, used plenty of cooling and relatively low nozzle temperature. Dust coming in with the filament may be another factor at this nozzle diameter, but I have not checked on that further in my tests. That being said, I did get some nice high resolution prints but it was never fully reliable. I have decided to stick with a 0.4 mm nozzle on the K2 as I find the nozzle change quite cumbersome anyways (I tested 0.6 as well but didn’t find the speed improvement worth the loss in resolution). For the few occasions where I need the 0.2, my old Ender is sufficient.
Thanks for response. It seems that it’s not a way to go then. I wanted to be able to print some miniatures using 2 CFS for 8 colors but I’ll have to stay with my bambu lab A1 for this, with only 4 colors for the moment. Anyway I found some models to print with 6 to 8 colors so I’ll also stick with a 0,4mm nozzle too.
