Were to get a better throat ;)

Eye · January 2021

Hi; after some usage i kind of had to change the Throat of the little a5 i have

The one I bought seems To be a bit problematic, as it seems It has a wee bit less V shape in the Upper side of the thoat and the opening is verry narrow, could please someone point me To a more fitting source On ebay?

also; i did see somethings about all metal thoats; does someone Have any expiriances with those?

Thanks eye

One small comment: all metal throats can suffer a bit from clogging / sticking. E3D has good experience with this one, may be worth trying a genuine one from them.

I have been using a 4mm throat where the ptfe tube goes all the way through and contacts the nozzle. What a difference. I have not had a single clog with any material since switching to it. I’m not sure why every bowden machine wouldn’t use this configuration. I tried an all metal throat first and had massive clogs (maybe because it was cheap Chinese one) . The Micro Swiss is supposed to be the king but they aren’t cheap.

I also switched to the mk8 style nozzle from the e3d style and love it also. It just seems to be cleaner and petg doesn’t gather around the tip. It is also easier to see the line as it goes down.

Samuel So you need to heat the whole block untill it melts?

rhoub; Sounds interesting

So you have some links so i can try To look them up on ebay.de?

The throat should never get hot enough to melt plastic. If it does, it will be hard to clean. The E3D throat is nicely polished to avoid sticking in the throat.
