Very nice PRUSA Nextruder Nozzle Box for MK4
I just printed this very nice PRUSA Nextruder Nozzle box. The cover is very tight and you need to file any imperfection to be able to close, but then is very nice.
It was printed without the MMU.

nice!!
Is it easy to switch nozzles?
(I know what prusa tells us ... you know, prusa, who also tells us printers will arrive "soon" 😉 😉 )

Yes, just do not follow the PRUSA instructions.... 🤣
In practise, open the lid, unscrew the two black big screws, and then unscrew the nozzle while holding the heather block with your fingers or pliers.
Since I am using only full Nextruders and not the "compatibility" Nextruder, there is no risk of leaking PLA or contaminating the nozzle screw, so it is not require to tighten the screw too much.
The difference with the REVO is that the Nextruder is SCREWED to the heat block, while the REVO is just fitted since it is cylindrical, without any thread, and just slide out easily when you screw the upper part.
May be PRUSA decided to use a thread on the hot block in order differentiate their Nextruder, and to avoid copyright infringements with REVO.. 😎
...or just because they though a strong bond through a thread transmit the heat more efficiently that a near contact with probably 0.3 mm air tolerance around.

I have found this nice tool on Printables to help to keep the parts steady during the change of the nozzle. 😉
