Can you do a video on how to replace just the nozzle and the whole hotend? I believe I would be the only one who would benefit from demonstration/example. Greatly appreciate your contribution and help. Thanks Also Facebook lead me here.
@TripasGarage yes, because on most older 3d printers they have a square aluminum heater block. All new printers are now using round heaters. So what's the best and proper way grab the heater and not ruin it while turning the nozzle loose. Sorry, I might be making this far more complicated than it needs to be or should be.
Oh! I totally understand now. Well, the bambu also uses a square heater block and I've done a few videos on those. This new heater also has 3 little screws that hold the hotend to the heatsink so it does a good job of holding it in place on the Qidis. @@TechKnightOne
What stands/cart is that ur printers on
I used this from amazon :) it worked great! : amzn.to/40QR9XF
Does the printer come with an extra hot end or did you have to buy one?
Good question! The printer came with an extra hotend and a hardened steel nozzle.
Just to clarify - the hotend is actually the same, only the nozzle is different.
I appreciate that info.

Hi there, thank you for the suggestion. Are you asking for another video only showing how to replace the nozzle and not the complete hote end?
