Pulse XE Mosquito HE Nozzle Selection
-
I have the Mosquito hotend on my Pulse XE
What nozzle types on the store site can I get to try out?
Any 1.74 by 0.40 mm?

Hi Mavin,
Any of these nozzels from Slice Engineering are compatible with your hotend as well any E3D V6 nozzle that is specified for 1.75mm. And if using MatterControl, don't forget to change the nozzle size by clicking on the 3 dots in the right-hand corner > 'show printer' > 'general' > and at the bottom you will find the extruder specifications.

Looking at the E3D nozzles. 1.75 funbpack, doesnt say they are compatible with the Slice hotend, only: This nozzle is compatible with the E3D Lite6 HotEnd.

Hi Mavin,
Those will work just fine with the mosquito hotend.

Another question
What about using MK8 nozzles?The threaded shaft is almost 1/2 the length of the one I have now
-
From the spec sheets online, the mk8 thread length is shorter but it is still M6 diameter. Therefore, the nozzle will work as long as the top of the threads from the nozzle bottom out on the hotend heartbreak. If the nozzle shoulder bottoms out on the heater block, then a gap will exist inside the heater block causing the filament to leak out and flood the hotend.
