Change the nozzle
The Ultimaker 2+ Connect has a heater block with easily swappable nozzles. A 0.4 mm nozzle is already installed,
and an extra 0.4 mm nozzle is included in the accessory box. Other compatible nozzle sizes include 0.25 mm, 0.6
mm, and 0.8 mm and can be purchased separately. To change the nozzle, use the 7 mm wrench that is included
in the accessory box.
Before removing the nozzle, perform a cold pull to remove material residue from the inside of the nozzle.
1. Remove the material from the print head
The lament only has to be partially unloaded, until it is visible above the print head. Use the Change material
procedure or raise the nozzle temperature via the Maintenance menu and unload the lament manually.
2. Place the print head in the middle of the gantry for easy access
3. Set the nozzle temperature to 100 ºC
4. Use the 7 mm wrench to unscrew the nozzle from the heater block, in a clockwise direction
The nozzle is warm. Take proper measures to catch the nozzle when it is loosened from the heater block.
Protective (thermal) gloves are advised.
5. Select the desired nozzle and manually screw it into the heater block until it is hand-tight
Be careful, as the heater block is still warm. Protective (thermal) gloves are advised.
6. Use the wrench to fully tighten the nozzle
If a dierent size nozzle was installed, ensure to select the corresponding nozzle size in Ultimaker Cura to
prepare the next print job.
