Olsson block nozzle problems

Posted (edited) · Olsson block nozzle problems

Having fitted a new nozzle to my Olsson block last week the printer under extruded.

I fitted the original one again and it printed OK.

Suspicious, I have tried to pass 0.3 micro drill through the new nozzle and it will not go.

I believe these spare nozzles (which I bought last June) are 0.25 and not the 0.4 I ordered.

I am going to attempt to drill them out.

Others have posted about under extrusion with the Olsson block and I believe they should check this possibility.

    I had this problem with a 0.25mm nozzle until i realised that not just changing the nozzle size on cura was essential , but using a higher flow rate to build pressure. this takes some tinkering.

    Anyone else found this or just me?

    Just you :)

    using the 0.25mm nozzle takes time to get used to. You need to increase speed or drop temp a bit.

    But it seems amont has a issue of being supplied the wrong sized nozzles.

    There is one dot on the nozzle.

    Since my original post I have found another thread https://ultimaker.com/en/community/8689-custom-heater-block-to-fit-e3d-nozzle-on-ultimaker-2-the-olsson-block page 30 which refers to considerable confusion regarding the nozzle markings and the fact that some wrong sizes were sent out.

    I must be the recipient of some of that batch.

    1 dot should be 0.40mm where and when did you buy it?

    I bought the nozzles in June from direct from 3dSolex.

    I have bought more nozzles from the UK agent which arrived yesterday, and the same micro drill will pass through them. They do of course have 0.4 marked on them.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
