3DQue Systems is a technology startup that is focused on automating 3D printers to make high-volume production and innovation available to engineers, entrepreneurs, and makers around the world. With our YouTube channel we hope to be a resource for people interested in high-volume production using 3D printers.

I use .8 on functional parts, but I still use .2 for extreme detail parts. I won’t sell crap looking stuff meant to be displayed.

I think the 0.8mm part looks even better, layer lines, yes but no weird printing artifacts 🎉 You can also print at 0.6mm line with with a 0.4mm nozzle, works like a charm at 0.2mm layer height

I use 0.8 for everything. You can print at the same layer height (I prefer 0.16-0.28), but the width can be up to 1.12mm wich saves a ton of time

Turn your heat up, that .8 print was a little matte compared to your .4. Your moving twice as much material in some cases so you need extra heat to comp for that.

Yeah, but sizing up the nozzle can cause you to lose smaller details or parts. For me, it's still very much application dependent. I've used from .3 to .8 already, all of them good for different prints.

Make a very detailed video about to setup a profile for any printer in superslicer? Would be great because the seams seems to be quite difficult to tune out with 0.8 nozzle

Another hidden cost of 0.4mm nozzles: I throw away a LOT more parts with my 0, 4mm nozzle compared to my 0.2mm nozzles, because I print really fine, mechanical parts, and 0.4mm is just an absolute imprecise banger... but the 0.2? slow as hell, but pops things out PERFECTLY.

I think most ppl don’t chg nozzles much bc they are afraid they’ll damage a thermistor wire or heating element wire.

The 0.8 makes a way heavy
And uses a lot more filament.

[GaryThedPrinterMaker]

I like the idea but the rint won't be more detailed without the normal nozzle size 🤔

[CrowClouds]

It honstly looks better with the 0.8. Can you use that long boi nozzle with any heatblock though? Does it include the heatsink or something?

[dsp]

I tried just going up to 0.6mm and it was nothing but ooze, which caused antennas/blobs and under-extrusion after travels. You can lower temps to manage the ooze, but then your parts become weaker. Spent days trying to make it work, but it just didn't, so I went back to 0.4mm.

[novadark]

ok but will it be as detailed as I want my small jewelry prints (required detailing)

[ruthwilson]

That's good information thank you very much for that😊😊

[NinjaPossumStudios]

Right but I print detailed items. Not useful for me.
