How do I replace the nozzle?

The InkSmith Makerforge and the Cubicon Style Plus and Single Plus are equipped with removable nozzles which may need to be replaced from time to time. This is one of the parts of your 3D printer that experiences the most wear and tear.

The tool kit that came with your 3D printer should contain an 8mm nut driver (also known as box wrench or hex driver), and 1 replacement nozzle. If you need to purchase a new nozzle, click here.

Follow these simple steps to replace your nozzle:

1. Unload Filament - It's necessary to unload the filament from the printer before removing the old nozzle. Refer to the user manual if you're unsure how to do that. Links to user manuals can be found here.
2. Remove the old nozzle - Use the nut driver to remove the old nozzle by turning counterclockwise. This is typically easier to do while the nozzle is still hot from the unloading process, so use caution and avoid touching the old nozzle. 
3. Install the new nozzle - Use the nut driver to screw the new nozzle into place, turning clockwise. Ensure that the new nozzle is firmly in place, but do not overtighten as this could damage the extruder module. 
4. Get printing! - Once the new nozzle is firmly in place, you're ready to load in some filament and start a print!
