VELLEMAN'S SUPPORT Extruder/Nozzle

Hello

are you tying to make/sell an Extruder/Nozzle more little than 0.5mm ??? for example 0.35 or 0.4

best regards

Future products will most likely feature a smaller nozzle, however it is to early to provide more information on future products.
Please stay tuned to these pages.

I just recently fitted a J-Head v5b 0.35mm for 3mm filament underneath the extruder.
I used the connector on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26355 to mount it into the K8200.
Works well after drilling 4 holes to connect.
Be aware however that you have to reinvent all settings of anything all over again.
But… if you want to print detailed objects like H0 scenary for your model buiding this is really nice…

Hello

Can you post the link where you have bought this nozzle
And could you post your settings file here please ?

Best regards

Nice work Segaar.

I got the JHead from plastic2print.com in the netherlands.
Some guidance on settings:

  • layer heigth 0.05 does not work for me (PLA) so start your experiments from 0,1mm
  • lower your speed
  • lower your filament extrusion multiplier I set mine to 1
  • lowering your temperature a little bit may be useful; 180 may work well whereas 170 was too low for me

Does anybody have an idea about the distance between the 0,35 nozzle and the bed?
So far it seems that the 0,25 setting from the original Velleman extruder is still OK.
