Bought a 0.2mm hardened steel hot end, but no setting for that?

What do I do?

This is the product I bought: Amazon.com

Haven’t tried printing yet. Only 0.2mm setting is for stainless. Confused!

Reading the description, the 0.2mm isn’t hardened steel. Just stainless steel. The 0.4mm is hardened.

BamubLab don’t sell a hardened 0,2mm nozzle, only 0,4mm and larger. that is why you can’t select it.
You could create your own profile. Or you just select a different type of 0,2mm nozzle and tell bambuStudio, its a non hardened. Actually I don’t think it makes much difference in the result.

I think most filaments (-cf -gf) which require hardened tips will not work on 0.2mm either so that’s probably part of it. Just pick 0.2mm stainless for that tip if you’re just using pla.
