    Hey Eagle, I'm having a problem getting the nozzle loose to adjust the height. I'm pretty sure this is the screw right? Pretty similiar to my flashforge. But none of the wrenches they sent with me, or that I have, will fit it. It seems more round looking also. But yeah, all too big to fit in there. Or am I just missing something and will feel dumb :P

    That set-screw is 1.5mm size.
    A wrench for it came with our printer
    and yes it is an unusual size.
    The wrench is very low-quality and Rounds-over very quickly.
    You can grind or sand off the end, to get past the rounded end,
    if you have the power-tools to do that ?

    I had a problem with the very small threads Stripping-out and slipping, in one of ours,
    after tightening it only several times.
    So, I had to drill and Tap that block to a larger size set-screw.
    I think it was 3mm I changed it to.
    I did Not remove the assembly from printer to drill&tap it,
    I just removed the nozzle-tube.
    With the larger size set-screw it is much easier to adjust also.
