Nozzle changing

I’m looking at buying my first Prusa....a MK4S. I’m a long time E3V2 user with many modifications & swapping a nozzle is relatively easy.

However,  I am looking for is a quick and easy nozzle change process viz to easily swap nozzle diameters or hardness. I don't want to use hardened nozzles when they are not needed IMO print quietly suffers.

Looking at the FAQ - it seems that Prusa recommend partial disassembly of the hot end and removal of the heat block  to change a nozzle. This could push me to a Bambu.

In user experience is that the case or is there a quicker way?.

Tx.

RE: Nozzle changing

Yes, there is an easier way.  The MK4S Nozzle Replacement Tool by Prusa Research on Printables.  It holds the heater block so you just unscrew the nozzle.

Here's a link to the tool mike-b mentioned.  The "Details" tab there includes instructions.

This makes it WAY easier than removing the entire assembly (and then trying to get all the wires back in that extruder channel).
