Hot Tightening Guide

The V6 nozzle Hot tightening guide focuses on the hotside; the process is the same regardless of the cold side.

Brass

  • Using the onboard LCD or web interface heat the V6 Hotside assembly up to 285°C. Wait roughly a minute at 285°C to allow the different materials to equalise in temperature.
  • Using a 7mm spanner and an adjustable wrench tightening the unit.
  • You are aiming for 2Nm of torque here; if you apply too much pressure at this stage, you will risk shearing either the nozzle or HeatBreak. If you are concerned, we recommend the use of a torque wrench set to 2Nm.

Plated Copper

  • Using the onboard LCD or web interface, heat the V6 Hotside assembly 20°C higher than the temperature you will be printing at. Wait roughly a minute at the set temperature to allow the different materials to equalise in temperature.
