    The problem with that method is that it assumes your head is parallel to your bed which is not normally the case. To level you have to move the head over a point that is a fixed distance from the bed so that you are measuring the same thing for both nozzles.

    Have you checked this thread? It details how to fix it on the FF original and I believe someone corrected the thread for the Creator Pro or X

    mines the straight creator (I think lol)
    I did look at that screw and then at the metal noizzle which would seem to be bang up tight against the thing above it.

    Having problems with the white reprapper pla at the moment . It either needs to be printed at temps above 220 - or it's utter shite.
    Either way I still think the right nozzle is buggered.

    So where can I get spares ?

    I would get a nozzle cleaner kit before I bought a new nozzle, with the exception of some very very bad black filament I got, there has been no blockage a small piece of metal wire didn't fix.

    I keep them on hand at all times now.. They are just a fine metal wire, basically a guitar string that's small enough to poke up through the nozzle hole.

    PLA blocks my extruders, it happens. ABS never did because I guess it's always at the high heat. With my prusa, I literally unblock the nozzle before each print because the PLA went so crap inside.

    I have cleaned the nozzle a few times. Having had extrusion issues with this pla at 215, I'm thinking I just wasn't runnig it hot enough. And no I didn't try it with any other pla before I pulled it. Didn't have any more time to buger about as I had someone coming and needed to get it working.

    So I'm pretty sure the left nozzle is worn short. And there's no actual problem with the head setup.
    I need spare nozzles.

    Where can I get spare nozzles, other than flashforge usa. ????????????????????????????????????????????????

    I can't understand your problem getting nozzles. I just bought 10 for a few $ and bought heat tubes the same way. Is yours different from mine or what?

    Be careful on the nozzles, they aren't all compatible from brand to brand. Different thread sizes are used.

    My head has 0.3 nozzles that were a few $ for 10 and the PTFE in the heat transfer tube sits flush at the end of the heat transfer tube. It all works with no problems.
    May I ask where you got the 0.3 nozzles for the Flashforge? Flashforge themselves wont sell me anything below 0.4... and I would really want some 0.25mm (but I'd settle for 0.3mm)
