Installation
Using the Mounting Holes in the Wade Extruder
- Insert the nozzle holder in the 5/8 inch (16mm) hot-end socket.
- Using a sharp instrument or other object, mark the 4 hole locations on the nozzle holder.
- Remove the nozzle holder.
- Using a round file, file the mounting grooves in the nozzle holder in order to create 2 grooves for the mounting screws or bolts to pass through.
- Install the hot end.
Using A Mounting Groove
Use a nozzle holder that is machined with the optional mounting groove and a cold-end that is designed for using a mounting groove or an adapter plate adapter plate for a mounting groove. In this configuration, a mounting groove is normally required.
