I&#8217;m looking at the Monoprice Maker Select printer, and had a question about nozzles.I&#8217;ve heard that to print with carbon fiber, glow in the dark, and other exotic filaments, it&#8217;s generally a good idea to use a nozzle with some kind of reinforced or hardened metal &#8211; I&#8217;ve also seen that you can get faster print times (sacrificing detail) with a larger nozzle, and more detail (sacrificing time) with a smaller nozzle.I was wondering how the process of changing nozzles works. For example, if I wanted to try out this Volcano nozzle pack, I assume I&#8217;d have to buy a new hotend for them to fit in. However, that would (I assume) let me use other E3D nozzles, too &#8211; which there are plenty of sizes for and looks like a fairly good ecosystem.Is changing the hotend simple, like &#8211; unscrew old one, screw new one in, change settings, or is it way more complicated? Are hot ends even compatible across printers, or do I have to find one that will work with my printer? http:\/\/ift.tt\/2a7nKA3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi &#8211; I&#8217;m a complete noob to 3D printing.
