Which filament, and how luminous was it?

and it glows pretty good. however, it is VERY abrasive on your nozzles so i would not recommend using it on a brass nozzle.

luckily i ordered a 0.4 and a 0.25 nozzle-x for my someday to arrive mini before brexit makes it hard to import from the uk. 😀

Do you find the premium price worth it for them over an already great Nozzle X?

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@lh

I have a ruby.  I have not found it superior to Nozzle X, but I do like slice Engineering’s Vanadium nozzle.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

@littleneutrino

For the cost of the Ruby, I can buy 20-100 brass nozzles.  They are pretty much disposable.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

How do you identify a worn nozzle - I print 65% PETG, 10% Polycarbonat, 10% ABS and 15% PLA - printing for more than 2,5 years (about 30 kg of material) and I would say the 1. brass nozzle is still in good condition.

How do you check that?

Best regards,

I usually wait until I clog a print, take off the nozzle and say "omg, I'm not cleaning that" 😭

I've gone from checking the Shipping Table every few hours to checking the FedEx page every few hours...

Getting closer...

Isn’t that the truth.  I spent a couple hours cleaning a clogged nozzle.  I just replace them and some times I just replace the hotend too.  

Someone suggested I use a blow torch.  I might try it.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

So if cleaning a clogged nozzle isn´t the problem a nozzle lasts for ever? Good news 😉

@frankincell

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

My Prusa Mini arrived today and sold it for a profit. I will buy a Zaribo upgrade for my mk3s. At some point if the Mini has no problems I will buy it again.

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

I really wish I order 2 Minis.  These things are great.

I would settle for just getting the one I ordered 🙂

Good point.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Ok.  I have printed head to head with my MK3S.  I printed a Makers Coin that my rocket club uses to encourage the team to remain to the end of the day to assist with clean up.  It is what I call a plastic Nickle.  We hand them out as $5 off your next flight fees.  

Coin front:

Coin Back:

I printed them with the same settings and it took 1 hr 17 minutes on the MK3s and 54 minutes on the Mini.  The quality is identical.  

RE: Unofficial Prusa Mini Wait Thread

Mini showed up today. Sadly, the electronics enclosure was badly cracked on both sides. Upside was that support responded immediately and a new enclosure is being shipped. No questions asked. Great customer service.
