Plated copper heater block

When?

 

What good is the V6 nozzle adapter if you can't even print CF?

Because TC nozzles tend to come loose with the stock heater block on the MK3. I guess the same applies here.

So a V6 nozzle adapter is useless unless you can print CF?

Can you not attach a third party one?

RE:

I just experienced a major blob with my XL using the nozzle adaptor and a TC nozzle. I've swapped nozzles on my four Mk3S and Minis, which all have Dragon hotends and TC nozzles, literally hundreds of time, never had an issue, so I'm pretty sure I did everything right. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder if I might have made a mistake after all. But the Dragon has a copper heater block, so, yeah, maybe the fact that it's TC on brass was in fact the root cause. But I'm not going to test it again anytime soon, without a ready supply of hotend components, just in case something goes sideways.
