Edit: thanks to Oliver for correcting my bad info a lot of this is not helpful for the ace because it auto sets z height with the strain gauge
Just here to add some info for people looking to switch to a volcano nozzle. I’m using the Volcano Micro Swiss CM2 nozzle @ 0.6mm.
For changing the nozzle follow this video made my sovol ( EDIT I can only add 2 links to a post here so just look on YouTube for sovol’s official sv06 ACE nozzle cleaning and replacement guide).
After the install it helped to calibrate the Z offset. Remember to get the bed to at least 60c and the nozzle to 200c when calibrating. You might want to remove the filament so you don’t get oozing when calibrating. if you have feeler gauges this video is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6DGF5YikG8 if you want to use paper instead this video that shows how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vduYl9Rw5iI
hope this helps! I’ve had 0 issues using the volcano nozzle with pla and petg
First of all, welcome to the forum! Thanks for the tips. A lot has already been said about the Volcano nozzle. The right thread length is important. Unfortunately, the videos on Z offset do not match this printer. A strain gauge is used on the hotend. This works much better than in the videos, as the measurement is always taken at the nozzle.
Oh thanks for the info! I’ll update my post so someone does not run into wrong info. I had no idea it uses a stain guage. Don’t strain gauges loose calibration with heat and over strain easily?
I checked my calibration with some feelers and it was off and assumed it was just the z end stop the calibration seemed to help but probably just coincidence then. The z height calibration seems so be all over the place, but it’s not consistently off
