I just replaced the stock nozzle on my printer with an **E3D Nozzle X** , first and foremost, the nozzle threading is shorter than the stock one, and I felt that would be in issue in itself. I went to manually adjust the extruder in order to accommodate the new nozzle, and for some reason I couldn’t lower it further to an acceptable height in order to get printing; It only goes up. How can I get my extruder closer to the bed in order to do a paper test? Haven’t printed anything yet but strings due to nozzle not being close enough to the bed surface. ---

Hello, Have you moved the proximity probe ? ---

How can I do this? Is that the blue thing at the bottom of the extruder? ---

@Lion is right, if it hasn’t been done yet, first of all leveling again. I thought it was already done. ---

Is this any different from the klipper screen? ---

That is from the stock Marlin screen, so that pic wouldn’t apply to Klipper. ---

To save myself the time it would take removing parts and loosening the probe… Ill just buy a hardened steel nozzle with the same dimensions as the original. Since Im now aware that nothing on the extruder should sit lower than the nozzle, Its just best I get a nozzle meant for the Sv06 plus.
