Tronxy X3 FlexNozzle

thingiverse

This is my inaugural attempt at creating a holder that streamlines hotend changes. I'm specifically designing this for an affordable hotend available online, easily identifiable by its silver finish and compact blue fan. With this setup, you'll only need to release two bolts (and detach the wire harness/bowden) to make a quick and reliable switch. The printing bed remains perfectly level throughout the process. While it might take longer than a straightforward nozzle swap, I find it more convenient to replace the entire unit rather than navigate the tight spaces surrounding the small nozzle. Keep in mind that this is not designed for racing; it's perfect for enthusiasts who appreciate tinkering with their equipment. The version labeled "2mm" provides an additional 2mm of clearance behind the hotend's metal backplate. This can be beneficial if the screw on the bottom obstructs access to the single bearing wheel of the X-axis. To secure the clamp, you'll need two M5 nuts pressed into place and two fitting screws to complete the setup.
