The special design of hotend heating assembly enables easy separation of the thermal and electronic components of the hotend. In addition, the magnetic block installed on the hotend heatsink enables quick and accurate fixation of the hotend to its precise mounting position. This feature enhances the convenience of quick swapping, allowing for easy removal and installation of the hotend.
*Please ensure that the hotend has cooled down before swapping, and avoid touching the heat block (lower section of the hotend) to prevent any risk of burns.
The 0.4mm nozzle is widely recognized as the standard nozzle diameter for modern 3D printers due to its optimal balance between print quality and print speed. This nozzle size is utilized in Bambu Lab A1 Series 3D printers.
