Made some adapter for airbrush nozzle.
nice.
Elegant and simple solution. Now the question is, how does it print?
Congrats on your DIY version. Been dieing to know if this is really better then normal nozzles. I think it might work better because it keeps the heater block farther away from the heat, thus making it easier to cool faster and get better detail and overhangs. Let me how it works, please. Thanks.
I thought about trying that but the thread is not common. I found a couple taps but it would be cheaper to buy some.
@Rene_Jurack has been using airbrush nozzles on his DICE
@Jeff_DeMaagd M1.8 should do the trick
@Gary_Fischer If the adapter works, which it should, Airbrush nozzles are the single best printing nozzles i ever used. Speed and Quality are excellent.
@Bjorn_Marl
I use M1.7 for a tight fit. I used 1.5mm drill which is a bit too big but works fine.
@Jeff_DeMaagd
I bought a cheap 10 pack of threaded tap on Ebay and some 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 airbrush nozzles.
@Jan_erik_Halvorsen The correct value seems to be some variation of M1.75, M1.8 is so far the best fit i found. M1.7 with a bigger hole is fine imo. I wouldn’t try this with a steel adapter, but brass should be fine.
@Bjorn_Marl
Made my adapter of a stainless steel nozzle.
Was it done on a lathe or did you manage to get a straight hole on a drill press?
@ekaggrat_singh_kalsi
Used a cordless drill and a vice. I did not bother going out to the garage because I have a nerve injury in my back and have trouble walking.
What is based nozzle size you start on? Is it 0.80mm?
@Dont_Miyashita
0.4mm
Hhmm, at first I didn’t really want to down the nozzle size to 0.3mm or go bigger with 0.5mm. But after searching around I found 0.4mm nozzle too. Now I can try this and compare the print directly to standard nozzle.
