V3B & V4 nozzles interchangeable?

Post by Vandal968 » Fri Dec 04, 2015 12:26 am

The MakerGear website lists the V3B nozzle and V4 nozzle as two different parts. Are they actually different parts, or is it just poor website organization?

cheers,

The V3b nozzle itself is slightly different than the V4 nozzle (it's a bit larger). The V3b nozzles will fit on the V4, but I don't know if there's subtle things you'll wreck by doing it. I've been doing it every now and then, it just changes your Z-height somewhat.

Z height is the major thing. However my experience is the V4 work better on the v4.

Thanks for the info. I finally swapped out my V3B for a V4 and I was wondering if the nozzle could be re-used. The V4 has been on the shelf for two months warding-off clogs while the V3B devoured 4 complete spools of filament without issue.
