First Benchy printed with Bambu Lab X1 & CHT Nozzle

Warning/Disclaimer

If you want to try this, you should have some more informations :

  • does it print : yes
  • does it print faster : yes
  • does it print pretty : yes

But…

The nozzle is 1.9mm lower, this have some annoying consequences :

  • the plastic part that wipe the nozzle is hitted hard, mine did not crack but I suppose it could happen
  • the Bambulab detect something wrong and display a warning message, saying the nozzle appear too low, and to verify if there is not a plastic sticked to it (but just a warning, you can ignore it)
  • last and related to the previous the first layer is squished

I manage to mitigate this bad effects by cutting the inside tube of the hotend but it is still not perfect and must be done with care.
