I’ve only used this nozzle a handful of times since I bought it, but yesterday I noticed this has happened at some point? I’m not sure what’s going on, leakage? I don’t remember any collisions and I’ve certainly always switched nozzle size on the printer and in studio whenever I’ve used it.
I would say no. Not because it’s bent but because it’s pretty caked in filament and it’s probably still leaking. I recently replaced all my hotends with Revos and when I did I noticed that all my Bambu hotends were bent. I’m not sure hot it happened either.
Honestly, that was my next thought. Do I get the Panda Revo? Only thing I don’t like is they don’t offer a 0.2mm nozzle, so I’m thinking of going for the Mako instead, even though swapping nozzles is a bit more involved with that one hmmm
p.s also had issues with my 0.4mm BL hotend bending last year and I had to get a new one
I put them on 3X XICs and 1X P1S and I really like them. I have Revo hotends on several other non-Bambu printers so I really wanted to use my nozzle collection on the Bambus too. They don’t have a .2 but they do have a .25 and a .15 available.
There’s a page on the E3D site that has recommendations for the flow rate, line width and layer height for all their nozzles. As long as you change the line width and layer height in whichever print profile you’re using you’re good to go.
I was just reading on Reddit that if you use the correct settings for the smaller nozzle and set the printer itself to .25 it will warn you but you can hit ignore.
I’m at work right now but when I get home tonight I can try a benchy with a .25 and let you know if it’s that simple.
Ah that’s good to hear, yeah I was reading about it last night too and some were saying it a pain to do it but it does work, others were recommending using Orca etc
With the Mako Hotend they have even-numbered nozzles, but you need to use a torque wrench to swap them, which I don’t really like the sound of as it’ll be constantly putting pressure on the hotend fitment bracket…
I don’t think so, or they haven’t mentioned it if they are. I saw a post where Bambu was giving some away but I haven’t seen anyone actually mention having one.
I actually bought one off amazon the other day for £22, it was fully adjustable, but none of my 1/4 inch sockets would fit on it, it was like the tolerance was totally out, so I had to return it. I could get another brand, but I’m thinking maybe just get the Mako one as it’s designed for nozzles and looks easy to use. Maybe a bigger wrench, held at 90 degree angle to the hotend would be awkward and could cause a cross-thread. Hmm, I think I should just pay up for the Mako one, it looks very handy in terms of size and ease of use
Just an update, I’ve lost my mind and ordered the Mako hotend, with extra 0.2mm, 0.6mm nozzles, the torque wrench, and a spare boot. I figured I needed a new 0.2mm hotend anyway, plus my 0.4mm is a bit worse for wear, so if I wanted three (0.2, 0.4, 0.6) BL hotends the price wouldn’t be too far off what I’m paying for the Mako kit.
