Hacking Different Sized Nozzles For AnyCubic Printers
1 min read
Summary
A YouTuber who goes by the name of Chuck has designed his own 3D printer nozzles for his AnyCubic machine as he was unhappy with the options available to him.
He began by using carbide PCB drills to widen the nozzles to 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm, a simple process of drilling out the existing 0.4 mm nozzles.
To create smaller nozzles, however, he had to get more creative, ending up taking a 0.2 mm nozzle from another printer and forcing it into the nozzle housings for his AnyCubic printer.
While his methods provide evidence of the versatility of 3D printers, it also highlights the lack of flexibility and accessibility when it comes to sourcing parts for certain makes and models of machines.
