E3D (6mm) Nozzle Rack

thingiverse

Nozzle holders, boxes, and racks can easily be found on Thingiverse, but they pack the nozzles too closely for my liking. I prefer that my nozzles be securely threaded into the holder and I need finger space to do the threading. So, here is my version of a modular nozzle holder. The holes in the main block are designed for M6 nozzles like those for the E3D V6 and Volcano. One block has 7mm holes for nozzles that just drop in. If you prefer threaded holes as I do, the other block has 5.2mm holes that can be easily tapped. Faceplates are separate so you can print them slower or with finer layers to make the text more legible. After printing, I glued the faceplates to the main blocks with CA and used a paint marker to highlight the numbers. Of course, you can combine the two parts in the slicer or Mesh Mixer. A blank faceplate is included if you would like to use a marker or printed label for your holder. You will also find trays that hold 2, 3, or 4 nozzle holder blocks. Each size comes with a loose- and snug-fit version. I printed out 8 blocks and 2 trays, but have not taken any photos yet.
