What are you using for the extrusion head?

The nozzle is called the budaschnozzle, it is not as popular as some other nozzles but it is so far very reliable. since it is a open source design a number of vendors carry them, including Amazon but make sure you're getting the one with the right filament size.

Paul, the printer looks great. I have a few questions: 1. Can you give me an idea of the quality of print? 2. Is it still in active use? 3. Have you modofied it since the original post? 4. Is this a reprap variant? 5. What software / hardware combo are you using? Thanks, JHL

I have always been a Lot excited about the 3D printers. Finally, I got the opportunity to go through this post. But One thing to ask Can we follow https://www.epsonsupport247.com/how-to-fix-epson-printers-common-problems-by-epson-printer-tech-support/ if the user faces any errors while using it?
