3D Printer: Enlarging nozzle hole

[Richard]

I looked at the sizes of the assorted carbide micro drill bits from Harbor Freight. 

Since the original nozzle size was 0.5mm, there are three sizes I can enlarge the nozzle orifice to: 0.65mm, 0.7mm, and 1.15mm

Any preferences? I'll be drilling it out on Friday.

I'd like to try drilling it out to 1.15mm, but I don't know if an orifice that size would work well with 1.75mm filament.

I know 0.7mm would work for sure though.

now that you mention it, it might be nice to drill out the nozzle to the largest standard nozzle size, or perhaps the largest a slicing program will support.

I dug around in the spares and found some smaller diameter nozzles for the printer, so we have that covered.

Cheers,

Trent

0.7 sounds safer. Only thing I'm worried about now is the temperature, couldn't get it over ~160C Tuesday night, not sure whats going on.
