e3d Nozzles

Are these nozzles compatible with the R1 with hexagon Nozzle? :

Yes they are. The Hexagon uses a 6mm thread length while the E3D nozzles have a 7.5mm thread length. Both are M6.

This means that you can use E3D nozzle on the hexagon, but you can't use hexagon nozzles on the E3D

 

Okay thanks. Will i need to modify the printer settings cause of the added 1.5mm (add to z-offset) or will that automatically be adjusted when its doing bed leveling?

 

That will be adjusted for since the nozzle is the probe point. Won't care about 1.5mm different

 

Okay. Is there a noticeable difference when using a smaller nozzle? will you be able to get Stratasys Mojo quality prints?

 

Lol are you joking? For one thing I don't even know how good of quality the mojo puts out, but it's a $10,000 machine! If it could even get 90% the quality that would still be insane for such a price difference.

.25mm will help external perimeter quality, but it's never gonna be an SLA printer.

 

Haha of course i was over exaggerating. Ive seen the mojo print and it is very very fine quality mainly cause its smaller filament and nozzle size. So your saying X and Y axis quality will be more accurate? For example, trying to print small engraved letters or writing?

 

Yes it will. The biggest limiting factor on a cartesian printers X and Y direction is the nozzle diameter.

Your bend radius is limited to this value, so on a corner you're going to have around a .2mm radius. If you have a .25mm nozzle you can get a .125mm radius, etc.

 

Thanks for sharing.
