My Anycubic Kobra S1 came with a non-removable nozzle, meaning a worn-out nozzle meant replacing the entire hotend. š
In this video, I show how I transformed my old hotend into one with a replaceable nozzleāusing a simple DIY method: drilling, tapping M6 threads, and adding a generic 0.4mm nozzle with PTFE tape.
To my surprise, it works perfectly, prints are flawless, and now I can swap nozzles anytime!
š§ What youāll see in this video:
- Step-by-step hotend modification
- Installing a replaceable nozzle on a glued factory hotend
- Testing and perfect prints after the mod
ā ļø Disclaimer: This is an experimental modification. Perform at your own risk. Ensure your printer is off and cooled before attempting.
