9 Information on Interchangeable Print Heads
Your F410 has been designed to use three different sizes of print heads in order to give our customers
maximum flexibility in optimizing their F410 for their specific tasks. These print heads are:
0.4mm: This is the default print head your F410 ships with. If you are not sure what print head you have,
it’s this one. This size is a good balance between throughput and resolution. This print head has no
colored collar on the top of the head.
0.6mm: This print head is identifiable by a yellow collar on the top of the print head. If you need a little
more throughput than the 0.4 and can sacrifice some print resolution, this is a good choice for you. This
is also a good choice if you need to run large quantities of filled materials; depending on the amount
and quality of the filler used, some materials can experience more frequent print head clogs on the 0.4,
since the filler gets stuck in the tip of the nozzle.
0.8mm: This is the largest print head we offer for the F410. It’s identifiable by a blue collar on the top of
the print head. If you need dramatically more throughput than the 0.4 and print resolution is not a
concern, this may be a good choice for you.
Pic – 3 print heads
All three of these heads feature highly wear-resistant hardened steel nozzles, so you can run abrasive
and fiber-filled materials without worrying about wearing out your print heads.
9.1 Using Different-Sized Heads
The most important thing to remember is you must use the correct profile for the material you’re
printing AND the size print head you’re using. For instance, a file sliced with F410_0.4_PLA will not print
correctly if you have a 0.6mm or 0.8mm head installed. You must re-slice your part with the PLA profile
that matches the head that’s currently installed.
We have produced a complete set of profiles for each size of print head. These can be downloaded from
