CR-10S Pro/ CR-10 Max 0.8mm
CR-10S Pro/ CR-10 Max 0.8mm
The 0.8mm nozzle for the CR-10S Pro and CR-10 Max
enables faster, high-volume printing ideal for large-scale, robust prototypes and functional parts. It reduces printing time and clogging risk compared to standard 0.4mm nozzles but requires updated slicer profiles, increased flow rates, and high-temperature management.ย
Key Details for 0.8mm Nozzle Usage:
- Compatibility: Designed for the CR-10S Pro/Max hotends, these generally utilise M6-0.75 threads (MK8 style).
- Performance: The larger orifice allows thicker, stronger layers (typically layer heights), decreasing print time drastically.
- Optimal Use Case: Ideal for large, fast, functional, or decorative prints where surface detail is less critical.
- Required Adjustments: Users must increase extrusion width to or higher in slicers (e.g., Cura) and likely increase nozzle temperatures to handle higher filament volume.
- Material: Available in brass for general use, or hardened steel for abrasive, high-flow applications.ย
Installation Tips
- Heated Installation: Replace the nozzle while the hotend is heated to roughly to prevent plastic damage to the threads, using a wrench to stabilise the heater block.
- Re-leveling: Re-level the bed (using the BLTouch if equipped) after changing the nozzle, as the height will change
