The power of the nozzle

Just a super quick post. I got my printer maybe 6 months ago, and have loved it ever since. Over the past two months though, my prints have just gone down…down…down in quality. No matter what I’d do, I couldn’t get a good print. It was getting to the point where things would come off the bed feeling like a sponge.I finally ran across a post about a clogged nozzle, and how the filament isn’t supposed to curl up as it comes out. (Mine was, HEAVILY)So, I took my hot end apart, cleaned everything out as best I could, and still, had the same problems. (albeit, it was a LITTLE better)Researched some more…and decided to just try a new nozzle.I installed bad boy, and MY GOD, I have a brand new machine again. It is printing things at 80…90 mm/s, and coming out perfectly clean and beautiful. I am so pleased!TL:DR Spend the $10 and get a new nozzle every once in awhile, your prints will thank you for it. https://ift.tt/2HKxDEC
