+ | ===== Revo RapidChange nozzles ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's now possible to print more detailed or larger prints as the new | ||
+ | nozzles can be quickly unscrewed by hand and swapping them takes less then | ||
+ | a minute. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The normal nozzle size is 0.4mm, and is marked with a RED cover. Make sure | ||
+ | you have the correct one installed before starting a print and please swap | ||
+ | back to 0.4 when you're finished with a differently sized one | ||
+ | |||
+ | We currently have 0.25, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8mm brass nozzles, hopefully | ||
+ | hardened ones for abrasive materials will be released later. | ||
