I meant the physical replacing of the nozzle went about as hard as a moon landing.
I did manage though eventually using the very wise words of our ancestors;
If brute force is not working, you are not applying enough of it.
really bad advice though. just a joke.
I am now well underway trying different configurations with a 1mm nozzle.
I think I am nearing now a configuration that has the right flexibility. Sure one section will break at some point but that should be no problem. That is why I print in sections rather than full print volume height. So that we can replace those unfortunate sections if need be and also perhaps improve on they structural fitness for purpose as the outer shape will still be the same.
It could lead to weight instability issues though down the line but that bridge I'll cross when I actually get there.
I am still waiting for the 20mm diameter aluminum rods to arrive. It is really frustrating now to not be able to start large scale production yet as I first need to make sure the rods can actually fit well.
Things are looking now around 37 minutes of print time with this rather up-sized nozzle, But boy did I need a lot of tweaking. I told you so
ADDITION: right now we are having 14.2 m/s winds. why I am not ready yet!!!??
ADDITION 2:I am just too intimidated by FEMM. Sorry guys I have to stick to the trail and error route ;( Why is this not standard curriculum in elementary school?
