I already ordered 1kg hyper pla white from creality ($8). What else I can buy during black Friday? I’m not sure what I’ll be printing other than trinkets and household items. These are the ones I currently have in my cart. Please let me know your thoughts and advice.
White petg 1kg from creality $6
Anycubic: petg texture gray, pla+ black, Pla strawberry pink - $26
Please let me know if I should get something else instead.
Addendum: If nozzles are cheap, you could pick some up. They are consumable parts.
And you could grab a tighter nozzle too, for better details in your prints. (Though the print time goes up dramatically!)
or just buy a proper nozzle with a tungsten or ruby tip.
How frequently would I need to replace a nozzle?
Not often, if you’re running non-fiber reinforced filaments. even standard brass nozzles can get 1000 hours on them before you start to get loss of print quality. And hardened nozzles have practically infinite life in normal plastic.
Better off getting multiple sizes though. A default 0.4mm nozzle is a nice middle ground. 0.2mm gains a ton of detail for small parts. 0.6 and 0.8mm nozzles can drasticall ly reduce print times for large parts and creates better overhang/bridge surfaces.
All true, but sometimes a clog turns into a Clog and it’s time to just drop in a replacement while you try and fix the clogged one.
Got it, thank you
