Supplies

• 7mm torque wrench
• Anti-Seize
• Replacement plastic nozzle

The plastic nozzle should be replaced every 3200 CCs printed. If you are experiencing underextrusion, it may be necessary to replace the nozzle as part of troubleshooting.
 

Replace the Plastic Nozzle

Before you begin the process of replacing your plastic nozzle, please note that your printer has a built-in utility which will walk you through the replacement process step by step. 
Note: Completing this utility will also reset the plastic nozzle counter, allowing your device to warn you proactively when the plastic nozzle next needs to be replaced. For more information, see the Maintenance Schedule Utility support article.
 

1. Select the menu icon from the dashboard.
   
   
    
2. Select the Utilities tile from the available options.
   
   
    
3. Select the Maintenance tile from the available options.

5. Select the Replace Plastic Nozzle tile. 
   
   
    
6. Press the Unload Plastic button and follow the onscreen instructions.
   
   
    
7. Use the 7mm torque wrench to remove the plastic nozzle, then press Next.
   
   
    
8. Transfer the washer from the old nozzle to the new nozzle. Take care not to misplace it.
9. Apply a small amount of Anti-Seize to the end of the threads of the new nozzle, then press Next on the touchscreen.
   Note: Be sure not to get any of the Anti-Seize inside the nozzle.
   
   
    
10. Using the torque wrench, screw the new nozzle partway into the print head, then unscrew it and screw it in again; this helps disperse the Anti-Seize over all of the threads.
    Note: If you are installing both fiber and plastic nozzles at the same time, make sure that the white print head cover on the underside of the print head remains properly aligned and tucked in to the head, and that no gap remains between the fiber nozzle and the heater block.
11. Tighten the nozzle until it clicks.
    Note: Ensure that the torque wrench has solid contact at all points on the nozzle. Failure to do so may result in your plastic nozzle being stripped.
