ultimaker 2 with threaded nozzle?

[lance-greene 7]

so will the ultimaker 2 ever be given a threaded nozzle so they can be easily changed? if not, is there an aftermarket heater block that can be used so threaded nozzle tips can be used?

Do you mean something like this Olsson Block

Re post#329, interestingly when I swapped from 0.4mm to 0.8mm I had to lessen the bed/nozzle distance, not increase it. The amount was 0.04mm if I remember correctly. I also ran the same PLA filament at the same settings that I had for the 0.4 nozzle. I am not suggesting you will be able to, just noting that it was OK for me; .300 layer at 40mm/s at 210c. Filaments have been Colorfabb intense green and Fabber's robot silver

Do you mean you left the nozzle size at 0.4?
