Hey Draud and gmay3, follow up question.
When you refer to the .3 nozzle are you referring to the .35 Jhead? I am planning to buy a kit soon and had just assumed that the .4 hexagon head was the best option offered with the kit. I am wanting quality over speed. Should I be considering the .35 jhead instead?
I plan to stick with whatever I order with the kit till it breaks, so want to make sure I am choosing right the first time.
Thanks

Unless I am mistaken, they are talking about the nozzle tip for the hexagon. standard is the .4mm but you can buy the .3mm seperately. Although I would think that Colin would sell the .3 nozzle with a printer order.

printbus, that's a great point I had not even thought of!
I was referring to the hexagon hot end. If you want quality over speed and are planning to get the hexagon hot end, you're going to get the .4 nozzle bundled with it. For $6.50 though, you might want to think of adding it to your order from makerfarm so you don't have to pay the additional shipping. I ended up getting the .3 later during a filament shipment. Either way, I would get the hexagon with .4 nozzle over the jhead for the smaller nozzle diameter.
Please explain to me how to...
