Nozzle recomendation
-
Hi…
I want buy nozzle, to have spare... I am searching recommendation:
- filament 1,75
- print Pla, Abs and some PETG
- E3d extruder
- In this moment, nozzle is 0,4mm. I d'like try thinner Nozzles
P. D. : It's not worth an Olson Ruby.... XD

What layer heights do you print at, and what is the gear ratio and step angle of your extruder system?
-
I have a Delta.
Layer height usually over 0,15mm.
Nema 17, with 1,8 degrees
The extruder… It's a bit different, it's a Zesty Nimble extruder... Steps around 2400 -
I use 0.3 nozzle on my delta with a e3dv6
.2 layer height most of the time. I'm happy with it most of the time… -

I just meant for day to day printing i find that combination good. Sometimes models would be better suited with a bigger or smaller nozzle or a different layer height. I just meant I find it a good general purpose combination. I'm not trying to mass produce anything so I'm not to upset with the longer print times at 0.2 layer height.

Oh, I see, thanks

Yeah I use 0.2 as my go to layer height, 0.3/0.34 (with 0.4 nozzle) for a part requiring greater strength or speed, or both. I find whilst I can print at 0.1 layer height it's slow, not all areas of a part benefit (I mainly print functional objects not artworks), so variable layer height with sli3crPE is nice, but top layers suffer from holes and you need 5-6 top layers for a nice finish.
I've also used 0.5mm nozzle (less blockages - much greater orifice area, 20% faster), 0.3mm (noticeably better detail than 0.4), and 0.8mm nozzle on volcano for big chunky parts, they're strong but the object doesn't print that much faster as there is a limit to how much volume you can melt in any given period of time.

Thanks….
Now, I have more doubts....
Thanks

I've a 0.4mm nozzle and a 0.25mm spare that only used once. I've been printing since 2013 and never found an excuse to install the smaller one.
I think that the 0.4mm nozzle has the perfect speed-resolution ratio.
