Many thanks to all who responded to my last question about nozzles. I've been out of commission with eye problems.
Now I need to know where to purchase smaller nozzles, .1, .2, .3. that will work with my FlashForge "Original" extruders? These extruders have the smaller teflon tubes inside them and the metal outer tube DOES NOT have threads. I do not have the "Newer" versions.
I don't see them listed on the FlashForge web site.
Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you can buy on this link. You can also find it on Amazon or eBay if you want. Hope this helps!
Bobby,
I checked it out and it looks like they only sell the .4mm nozzles. I'm looking for smaller ones but thanks for your reply.
Don
I found Set of nozzles on eBay , for our CTC printer,
which I think is same thread size ?
Set included 2 each of .2 .3 .4 & .5mm sizes
They did Not cost much.
Don't remember seeing any in .1mm size,
which I think is Too small anyway. :)
We found that .3 or .4 size is best for our printer.
We also found a set of drill-bits, in those sizes, to measure the nozzles accurately
Bobby,
Can you re-send the URL for smaller nozzles via email? I can't find any attachments/links on this site.

EagleSeven,
Can you send the URL/auction site via email?

I can't find any attachments/links on this site, I must be doing something wrong.
Thanks,

Hi Don!
Sure! Will send it to you in a minute.
I sent the email, hope you got Info ?
Yes, thank you. I will be in touch.

After checking several leads I still can't find the correct .2 or.3 nozzles to fit my "orignal" Mark 8 extruders that came with my CTC printer.
The problem seem to be the size of the INPUT hole, it has to accept the smaller (orginal) teflon tube and have M6 threads.
I asked two sellers on eBay but they did not respond....go figure !
If any one has any more leads please let me know.
A manufacture of quality high performance nozzles emailed me and mentioned that the "old/original" are obsolete and are being replaced by the new ones with the larger hole & teflon tube. This means I may have to change both extruders to the new type if I want a smaller nozzle size.
Don
??? Our CTC does Not have any Teflon-tubes in nozzles or anywhere in extruder assembly,
So, I don't understand what you are asking about?
I have seen some Guide-tubes, for other printers, that attach the heat-blocks to extruder assembly, with Teflon inserts.
But I have read that they cause problems, and tubes without Teflon are better.
Those are Not in nozzles.
Those nozzles, that I sent you the eBay link for, should fit.
EagleSeven,
I'm receiving the email notification that your responding but I can not find your new post on this forum.
In my last post I should have said that most of the teflon tube slides up into the extruder metal tube and about 1/4 inch of it fits into the top of the nozzle.
My extruders need this teflon tube, I've tried without them and had a mess you would not believe.
I did not get the URL to the eBay site. I have been "out of touch" for awhile. I had surgery on my left eye for a detached retina and it's slowed me down a bit..
Thanks,
Don
I think you need to change to 'Hybrid' display mode, to see all messages.Quote:

It's very Strange, this is first forum website I've seen do different Paths like that ! :(
Okay, so your extruder assembly must be made completely different than ours ! :(
Sorry, I can Not help with that design . :(
Except that I've read that the ones with Teflon-tube insert are Not the best design.
