Miniatures on the Monoprice Mini Delta - How to change the nozzle to 0.2mm. PART 1!

[@zyongv]

thank you so much! i’ve had my printer for years and i could not understand how to clear out this exact printer’s nozzle, and you seem to be the only video.

[@LostInTech3D]

I know! I thought the mini delta was more popular than this. Apparently not!

[@JeanRodo]

Thanks for the video I needed some help removing the heating block to replace the insulation!

[@LostInTech3D]

I hope it went well!

[@JeanRodo]

@@LostInTech3D hopefully it’s fine the thermistor wires that are epoxied on the heating block came off but I just stuck them back in so hopefully it’s fine! Replaced the nozzle as well with a new 4mm nozzle but it’s slightly longer so I’m hoping after some calibration it works just as good!

[@AlienRelics]

Or is it 9/32 or 5/16 or 1/4 inch? Oh, I really wish the USA would convert to metric, already!

[@glanguish9390]

Why can you not change without it being at full temp only for you to wait for it to cool down to an undefined temp? I'm planning on adding a micro swiss 0.2 for smaller projects and terrain too.

[@g_gaming2893]

What size is that nozzle? I know 0.2 but what’s the thread size?

[@LostInTech3D]

It's a standard M6 nozzle, so whatever that is!

For goodness sake, don't change the nozzle by dismantling the entire machine Set pre-heat to 200 Remove filament Change nozzle It's a 7mm spanner It takes five minutes

[@LostInTech3D]

You need to brace the hotend heat block while undoing the nozzle, and the spanner was unable to do this without removing the hotend from the mount. It's only a couple of extra minutes but safer. Printers like the ender 3 allow easier access to the heat block, but not this one. It's a long time since I made this video but I believe I also had a blockage in the PTFE tube hence full disassembly.
