Using your Bondtech CHT BiMetal MK8 Coated Nozzle is easy. First, make sure your printer is on the list of compatible models like bq Hephestos or Creality CR - 10. When you're ready to install or remove the nozzle, heat up the heat block to at least 250°C, better at 280°C. Use a 6mm wrench and apply a maximum of 1.5 Nm torque. Choose the right nozzle size according to the filament you're using. For carbon or glass fiber - loaded filaments, go for 0.6, 0.8, or 1.0mm. For metal, wood, or other particle - loaded filaments, the 0.4mm size is a good option. After use, let the nozzle cool down naturally. Keep it clean by gently wiping the nickel - coated surface. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. This way, your nozzle will last a long time and keep performing well.
