I prefer to leave the sock and fan shroud in place and simply push up against the bottom of the sock to unscrew the nozzle. Faster and no chance of damaging the wires to the heater pulling off the sock. Works perfectly.

Nice one mate! However, don't do this on the Ender 3 V3. The nozzle is fixed with a grub screw and you might break off the throat. So better investigate for any newer Creality printer that uses this type of nozzel if and how the nozzle might be fixed in place. The K1C seems so far the only printer where the nozzle can be screwed out without releasing a grub screw in the upper section of the hotend.

Very helpful video. Thank you for that. I saw that you have a new channel logo. Looks nice. Best regards from Regensburg.

Thanks back! In fact it’s the old logo. I felt it’s time to switch back to it 🔥

4:31 Hello, I saw an official Creality aftersales video on replacing the K1C Unicorn nozzle. In the video, the upper copper ring is lubricated with silicone grease. In your video, you screw the nozzle in without lubrication. Do you know anything about this topic? I have not yet received an answer as to which silicone grease was used. Silicone grease is only supposed to work up to 200 degrees.

@ryanback5888 Ай бұрын

Great question. Also curious.

@peverington Ай бұрын

The upper copper ring (after the heat break) is there to keep incoming filament from melting due to heat creep before it enters the extruder. In theory it should rarely if ever go above 200°C so the silicone grease should be fine.

@wykonczeni Ай бұрын

Isnt there a screw at back of extruder to hold unicorn tight to heatsink?

@GamingPanda5748 Ай бұрын

Can I still remove the nozzle if I have filament stuck in it? After a power outage while in the middle of printing and after the power came back on I noticed my filament not extruding.

@pshemee636 2 ай бұрын

5:50 Printing with bigger nozzle, but having it defined as smaller in slicer won’t under extrude. The quality will suffer, but extrusion volume should still be correct.

@Crosslink3D 2 ай бұрын

That’s probably right. I think it’s still crucial to have the right settings

Hello, is it necessary to perform bed calibration after nozzle replacement?

Probably better so

I did the replacement of the standard 0.4 to the unicorn 0.6 nozzle. The first print i want to make I get an error Key:2111. Do you know of this problem and how to solve it?

@Crosslink3D 2 ай бұрын

I had this after disconnecting the fan and reconnecting. I did restart the printer by powering off and on. The problem did not happen again since.

@amerzone100 2 ай бұрын

@@Crosslink3D I did a restart and factory reset of the printer. The error keeps popping up. The strangest thing is that with files sliced before the first error there is no problem. So it looks to be an error in the gcode that's generated by creality print. The print head does multiple homing movements and for some reason it centers and wants to lower the temp of the nozzle to 170. That's when the error occuers. With the old gcode, its does the homing and afterwards it just begins to print. Very strange. Haven't had the time to check the g-code on differences between the old and new files.
