    what a nozzle idea

    in regards to the nozzles, what size socket are using to remove them,? I have used a 9mm socket on my torque wrench, but feels a bit loose, are they metric?
    also do you have any tips on holding the aluminum blocks without damaging them in the nozzle change procedure?

    If it is very tight I remove the heater and put a silver steel bar down the hole.

    There is only one hole when you remove the heater, the hole where the heater fits.

    on my creator x I stick an alen key into the aluminium block (there is asocket) and use that to hold it still.
    No idea what socket I use - it was just the one that fitted - never looked at the size :-)

    My big problem is actually finding replacement nozzles that have the right sized shaft for the ptfe guide tube.
