Thanks again.

1.You can find the size info in your order information,or you can ask our sales for help.
2.Yes,you can upgrade it.Here is the purchase link:

Thank you very much! Is there a way I can also buy the second metal part that connects to the 2 smooth rods so it will be 100% metal extruder?
I bought the pro C via eBay (item number: 331588937019). The nozzle size was not specified in the HTML description (it says between 0.3 to 0.5), and I see different values in Slic3r and Repetier Host. How can I figure it out?

Moreover, the firmware for RAMPS 1.4 for the pro C looks very old. After comparing the CRC's it seems like it's Marlin 1.0.2, with a slight changes.
Are you planning to upgrade it to the latest?
If not, I'll probably try to use the official Marlin first in order to be updated...

In addition,for the size number of nozzle,i just go to eBay,and i find the size is free to choose when i bought it,so you'll get the size what you selected

Ok, thanks.

Are you sure I had the option to select? I don't remember I had such an option and I don't see it the eBay's purchase history.
Is there a way I can measure it?

Yes,you do have a choice,see this,its our own product,they are the same,you'll get what size you select: And for the firmware,i think you had better use ours though it is old,cuz the firmwares are optimized according to our own products,and it may affect your using experience if you use others'.

I bought the printer via eBay, not via your website. There were no option to select to nozzle size.
The description didn't contain a valuable (it said that the size is between 0.3 to 0.5, maybe because I bought it in auction) and I thought it doesn't matter because your software knows to handle it, but I guess I was wrong.
Maybe there's a "default" size? I guess it's the only option before I buy a new nozzles or just print a cube 4 times with different nozzle size value and see what's the best result...

Ok, I guess ill just buy a new nozzle because it's cheap and seems to be very easy to replace.

1. What's the recommended size? I prefer quality and accuracy over fast printing.
2. Should I select 3.0mm filament diameter or 1.75mm?

Thanks.

1.If you wanna shorter time,the big-size nozzle is recommended.
And if you want higer printing performance and more details,the small one is recommended.
2.The size of your filament just matters the size of the groove below and doesn't matter to the nozzle.

Generally speaking，there will be the info about the size of nozzle on your purchase page...
