#0.2mm Nozzle not Extruding

I recently bought .2mm nozzles, for my e3 v3 ke. They are third party, not from creality. I replaced the nozzle and I go to extreme at one millimeter of second feed rate and the gear just skips and nothing comes out. I have tried numerous cold polenumerous cold pulls, nozzle is not clogged. I tried changing the feed rate to .25 millimeters a second and it's still skips and the ideas? Some filament does come out, but I think it is just it leaking from being liquid.

It sounds like you are experiencing issues with extrusion due to the smaller nozzle size. Here are a few things you can try:

  1. Check your nozzle temperature: Make sure your nozzle temperature is set correctly for the filament you are using. Different filament types may require different temperatures for optimal flow.

  2. Check your retraction settings: A smaller nozzle size may require adjustments to retraction settings to prevent clogging or skipping. Try increasing the retraction distance slightly.

  3. Increase the print temperature: If filament is not extruding properly, try increasing the print temperature in small increments to help with flow.

  4. Check your filament diameter settings: Ensure that the filament diameter setting in your slicer software matches the actual diameter of your filament.

  5. Clean the nozzle area: Sometimes, residue or debris can accumulate in the nozzle or hotend. Make sure the nozzle area is clean and free from any obstructions.

Honestly think you might have a bogus nozzle.

#

You've cold pulled already, and a .2 should still do a couple mm3/s

#

Ill try the other .2 when I get home. There were two in the package

0.0mm nozzle :/

#

is the hotend heating up?

#

how is the nozzle not clogged but you can't extrude with it?

spring plover
frosty spade
#

did it ever work?

#

and how do you know it's not clogged

#

if you're not extruding with it

#

if nothing comes out the end when you push filament

#

thenit's obstructed

spring plover

#

also are you running a full metal hotend?

#

or the regular ptfe lined heat break that enders came with

spring plover
frosty spade
#

so you can't get anything out of the end?

#

or it just oozes

spring plover
#

A tiny bit, from ooze

#

And a tiny bit when I first start extruding before it skips

frosty spade
#

tahts' the kinda thing you need to include with the opening

#

like what temp?

#

what material

spring plover
#

I tried, but I just got home and it wasnt uploading on data

spring plover
frosty spade
#

no issues same filament other nozzle?

#

so cold pulling a nozzle you cant flow through anything, is unlikely to solve the issuee if it's that bad

spring plover
frosty spade
#

that nozzle is as Derra' said prolly FUBAR

#

try to shove your clog wire when you get home

i got a big assortment of different accupuncture needles which is all they are

#

0.4mm is usually 0,2mm actual

#

for the pins

#

ify ou cold pull the nozzle

#

and then remove it

#

you should be able to see through it

#

im guessing you probably wont be able to like derra said

spring plover
#

Im gonna take it off and tey the other nozzle

spring plover
frosty spade
spring plover
#

I'll try

frosty spade
#

if one of the 0.2's is bunk, good chance the other one is too

spring plover
#

Time to take apart a hot end!

#

Ima eat dinner first

#

I dont know if that in the nozzle or what, but its coming out either way

#

It was getting stuck on something on the way in, but idk what. Nothing got pushed out

#

@spring plover you crammed a needle that is 0.2mm +/- 0.05mm of tolerance

#

the 0.2mm nozzle is probably somewhere between 0.25 and 0.15mm

#

so it got stuck as you shoved it in

#

lol

#

also

#

the heatbreak

#

is PTFE lined

spring plover
#

It was

frosty spade
#

if your heat break, isn't seated properly

#

you'll run into issues

#

now try to run filament through the extruder

#

and see if the extruder works

#

while the hotend is off

spring plover
#

My problem is, it worked fine until I replaced the nozzle

spring plover

#

There was a piece of filament that for some reason wasnt melting

#

Idk why

frosty spade
#

contamination possibly

#

something with a different melt temperature but didn't make a big diff to the mass flow they process on the commercial filament machine

#

also, don't forget you have that PTFE lined hotend

#

so don't go over like 240c

spring plover
#

funny story, when I was first tryign to clear any obstruction, just to be safe, I set the machine to 300 (less than like 2 minutes) and the PLA started smokign

#

So yeah

#

But I dont usually go above 230

#

I have no need to PETG and PLA

#

I also didnt know ti was PTFE lined until today when I was taking it apart

frosty spade
#

....

#

you took your PTFE hotend to 300c?

#

Rip

#

PTFE offgases toxic shit above like 250-260.

#

get yourself a metal heatbreak

spring plover
#

ehh whatever, it probably wotn evre go that high again lol

frosty spade
#

PLA will smoke that high too

#

personally i'd toss that heatbreak now

#

but, if it flows, it flows

spring plover
frosty spade
#

uh....

#

that entire thing is worth like almost as much as your printer lol

#

no

#

you can just get a heatbreak

#

or you could also just retrofit to a V6 style hotend off aliex for like 15 bucks

My search term
"ender 3 ve k3 metal heat break"

frosty spade
#

.....

#

bimetalic heat breaks are not PTFE lined

spring plover
#

nevermind im just fucking blind

#

I missed the itny print under the images lol
