Unanswered The rubber piece is coming off of the hotend, should I worry? Is that a warranty part?

    I looked at the stainless steel one someone asked about the Robo 3D R1+ and the vendor said, it will not work on the Hexagon :(

    The E3D nozzles (v5 or v6) will totally fit the hexagon.
    Only the E3D volcano adapter nozzles will not work.

    About Stainless Steel, don't do it unless you need a nozzle with no lead in it. They do not heat as evenly as brass, they do not last any longer than brass, they are more expensive than brass. Stainless steel nozzles were created to solve problems for medical and food industry uses of 3D printers. If you are looking for longer life then hardened steel nozzles are what you should look at.

    So it's done. I have to say, Robo Tech Support? 6 of out 6 stars. Very fast, no hassle. They are sending me the entire hotend and the pillow blocks for the y axis, which has cracked on mine. Great job Robo team!
