3D Printing

What makes you think your nozzle is worn?

Very unlikely it's worn, if you're seeing a change in print parameters it's most likely due to a new reel of filament.

If you're printing exotic filaments hardened steel nozzles are available.

Or ruby..

Any brass nozzle will fit, 0.4 seems the standard although wood/carbon fibre/glitter etc may need a larger nozzle to prevent clogs.

Smaller nozzles will give finer details but extend print time hugely depending on how small you go.

I have a range of nozzles from 0.1-0.8 and only ever seem to use 0.4...

Not all nozzles are the same. It depends on the hot end you are using more than the printer unless it's truly standard.

Just using RS Pro PLA and it's as good as the black (as you'd hope).

Printing the same as always have but noticing the filament dragging slightly on one side of the nozzle and bunching not coming through in a constant steady stream.

I am still using it for the time being as only one I have but will get some new ones to try to make sure.

Not that this this Ferrex to Bosch adapter is driving me nuts or anything...

Printing a Makita to Champion adapter for an old 18V Nicad saw.

Photo taken part way through the print. For a start the infill looks a bit straggly here and there. Also the screw holes weren't forming properly. I mean look at this top right hole, it's not like that on the model:

Tried slowing the print speed to 30mm/s from 50mm/s. Top hole still missing material and straggly:

Still too fast a print? This is on for about 6 1/2 hours.

Any ideas?

What slicer are you using?

Send it here mate. I will see how mine prints it.

It's printed and it'll work...but it's not pretty where the supports were:

How about the holes. They print any better?

Zoom in on the last photo, hole nearest the bottom. Not really, no!

Either your esteps aren’t right or your slicer profile needs work.
