Re: Nozzle sizes on A10M
Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2019 2:55 am
No not all are equal. Which is why I am still having trouble finding replacements (even just 0.4mm). I bought a pack of MK10 nozzles ranging from 0.1mm to 0.8mm holes. First, apparently the nozzle provided with the A10M is considered a low profile nozzle (Geeetech please confirm). The ones I bought I pushed on my previously leveled bed. After releveling I tried to print with 0.5mm, 0.4mm, and a 0.3mm nozzles. First, no I did not modify extruder feed and would prefer not to. The 0.5 did ok but I didn't like the detail (yes it cut print time some as expected). The 0.4 and 0.3 had issues with clogging. As for the 0.3, yes the filament came out and I liked the detail and smoothness I saw (yes print time increase a little). I started having issues with the print about half way through with the filament no longer coming out. I had to work with the head without a nozzle on to remove a clog. Comparing the inside hole of the one that came with the A10M and the replacement, the original has a smaller inside diameter than the replacement which apparently is better for mixing the filament into the single nozzle. The larger inside diameter looks like it would be more of a chamber than a pathway.....still looking. It would be nice if Geeetech would tell us where we can get them (and hopefully on Amazon).
Just came back and edited after more searching. Questions. I
1. What is the inside bore size? I saw some manufactures that listed bore size.
2. Is it "low profile" or better yet what is the size from the threads to the tip. I had my bed adjusted to the max with the set I received and had to have a 0.2 Z axis offset. Now paying more attention.
