10 days agoOh it’s a fantastic printer, but the default brass nozzles are $25 and the hardened steel are $53. Also you have to buy up to 5 of them at a time. Add to it, a 36cm^3 build area and you start to realize how fast the brass ones flatten their tips.
In short, nozzles aren’t cheap.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Unnecessary aggression for sure but you can do better next time.
I have a 3d design business. I’ve probably got thousands of print hours on my various printers. Some go non-stop for weeks. Brass is soft, it wears out.
If you need me to take some caliper measurements of worn out nozzles and how it impacts a print, I’d be happy to educate you.
