I called it a nut, its that one that goes around the hot end that the spring is against.

I am sorry it was so hard to print on the Clip on the Cube.
I will try it on my own soon, after I find a way to address supports on the cube as Cube Print supports really mess things up... Hello Meshmixer....
This was the first time I printed using PC+, so I could probably have done better w the threads.Quote:

I have an Ace hardware next to where I work, I will have a look tomorrow.

was adjusting the height of it using that guide and this wonderful frigid weather has my fingers cracked and didn't get a good grip on it. I'll find it eventually, good thing I have several cartridges and nozzles!
wasn't a big issue, just had to rotate it a bit so the clips were straight up. worked like a charm.Quote:

Great idea! I might try that in an effort to find one long-lost spring...:-)
PS: The PC+ Nozzle is still holding up. :-)

Found a few errors in my Nozzle file, so I have adjusted it and doing more test prints on PC+
IMHO printing the nozzle on PC+ or Max is the way to go....
The original one still works, but the print require a lot of clean-up. New version should be much better.
I wonder what could cause that.
I made a version that I suspect grew from the heat and pushed off the black bottom cover after about 10 minutes... twice!
On the other printer I ran a different nozzle of the same geometry and it printed perfectly.
One thing about plastics is that they grow a lot with heat. This is called CTE... Coefficient of Thermal Expansion.
If there is enough mass growing in the wrong direction, it can cause problems.
ok, so I ordered a box of the 1/8" push nuts and I can say, it is much better than the ones that came with it. I had to force it on using the jig MegaloDon designed where as the original one I could practically push on with my fingers. Now if we could only source the metal hotends we will be set!
I've flattened the tabs on the stock push-nut if they've been overworked. A common pair of pliers will do the trick. I measures the tube OD at 3.2mm where 1/8th inch is 3.18mm.Quote:
