Where to get 0.20mm/0.15mm nozzle?
August 26, 2012 07:08AM
Hello,
For experimental purpose, am looking for .20mm and 0.15mm nozzle for MakerGear extruder.
Where can I find these?

My target is rather 0.25 extruder/0.1 layer, but am curious about these finer, keeping 0.1layer.
To be used on M2 with ABS mainly.

Thanks!

I use this one for precision prints:

[www.ebay.com]

Be SURE to use both the mounting screws AND the grub screw mounts, because PTFE isn't the strongest support material when heated over 275'C.
I also used special 3mm fender washers to increase support surface material.

All in all, it works great for precision quality prints. Mine is 0.25mm, and I print at 0.15mm layer height.

It's a full set, with a good level of modularity! Very interesting.

I looked at the detailed schematics on Ebay, are you talking about thread rods when talking about grub screw mounts?
I can't visualize what you mean.

Thanks, Charlie!

Sw Eng too!

When I meant grub screw I meant using two very short 3mm screws (sometimes referred to as grub screws) to attach the top of the hotend to the bottom of the extruder. Blow is an image with arrows pointing to the location the grub screws would assist in holding the hotend:



You can also use M3x10 screws if those are easier to find.

Oh yes, I saw that the upper kind of flanged part was to be inserted, and bolted.
By the way, which extruder did you attach? Have a picture?

Thanks!

I attached mine to my Wade's Geared Extruder, I'll post a picture when I get home from work.
