When a nozzle is more thoroughly used and also shows signs of having a partial material clog on the inside. When you received you shiny new Creality Ender 3 you should have found a number of cheap (but effective) tools bundled in with it. They can produce sharp edges and precise details, but they may also be prone to clogging, especially when printing with materials that contain particles or fibers.

In general, the best 3D printer nozzle size and type depend on the specific requirements of the printing project. This means that while the nozzle size affects the range of available layer heights, users still have a level of control over the parameter; for example, you can still select a very low layer height when using a wide-diameter nozzle. This method is a wonderful way to get rid of most of the dirt and dust that may have accumulated within the nozzle and that you couldn't get out using the needle method.The best way to keep a nozzle in good health, is to simply use a fiber cloth right after every printing session.

Make sure you have moved the print head up the Z axis (prepare→move axis→z) so you can actually get at it easily with the bed getting in the way. So first of all push the Bowden tube right down through the print head so you can see it coming out of the body of the print head where the nozzle will go. Now that you are confident that the printing issue you're having is a result of a dirty nozzle, we can move on to the best cleaning methods. Before we go into cleaning options for your nozzle, we would like to determine if your nozzle is actually the cause of the problem. Pull the filament right out of the Bowden (PTFE) tube from the feed as it goes into the stepper motor.However, you should make sure the issue isn't due to the extruder, the Z offset setting, or an uneven bed. Note that some non-MK8 nozzles also have M6 threading — V6 nozzles, for instance — but these may have different thread lengths or body geometries which make them incompatible with the Ender 3 hotend. Resolution: Smaller nozzle diameters enable higher-resolution printing and better print quality on the X and Y axes. So when you place the spanner on the nozzle with the spanner handle to the left you need to push it forward NOT pull it back.

The ender nozzle is made of aluminum alloy and has an aluminum insert, which is more convenient to use and can be used with confidence. This offers a good balance for the specifications, as a nozzle’s diameter plays an important role in the 3D printing process. The CR-touch is mounted a little lower than the nozzle to prevent the nozzle from interfering when leveling. If your CR-10 has these bolts, there is no need to secure the heater block while loosening or tightening the nozzle. Although you can flush the nozzle out in situ (I usually do) it may be easier to just change the nozzle for a new one.

Fast printing: Nozzles with a large diameter can produce thicker lines of filament (larger perimeters) and also enable a greater maximum layer height, both of which contribute to a shorter overall print time. What's more, ender nozzle is made of high quality aluminium alloy and rubber, durable and practical. This is mainly because brass nozzles have exceptional thermal conductivity and stability, which is why it is recommended to use them if it is a possibility for your material.

If you start printing a model and come back to " completed" with only a few printed layers or no printed layers at all, the cause of this could be the nozzle.
