3D Solex HardCore Nozzle - 0.80mm

HOW TO SWAP BETWEEN DIFFERENT NOZZLES

The number one rule when changing 3D printer nozzles is to always do so with the hotend heated. Trying to change nozzles cold will always lead to broken components and broken hearts. Changing nozzles on the HardCore Print Core is interesting as you need to have the print core removed from the machine to do the swap. Here is the procedure for correctly changing nozzles without damaging any components:

1. Ensure the nozzle is clean by performing a cold pull on the print core
2. Heat the Print Core to 160°C
3. Shut the Ultimaker 3 down using the switch on the back
4. Remove the HardCore - BE CAREFUL - the core is heated at this stage
5. Mount the core in the included jig and ensure the heater block is seated in the square wrench
6. Using the included nozzle wrench, remove the nozzle from the heater block - being very careful with the hot components
7. Install the new nozzle and tighten it down with the nozzle wrench
8. You're done! Be sure to update your slicer settings with the new nozzle size!

No matter what you want to create with abrasive materials on your Ultimaker 3, there is a HardCore nozzle to make it happen! The 0.5mm Stainless Steel nozzle is special because filament does not stick to the nozzle, which alleviates any blobbing and unwanted artifacts left on the surface of your print.
