What would be the benefit of designing them so the nozzle isn’t replaceable? There are some filaments (i.e. carbon fibre) that are super rough on nozzles and require regular maintenance/replacement.
It’s to force people to buy the whole hotend. More revenue for them. Elegoo has been speed running a race to the bottom in the name of profit, so this isn’t surprising to me at all.
It looks like there are a few aftermarket options available that don’t have this limitation so when this nozzle/hot end bites it I may look at those. The replacements are only $20 but still, being able to purchase nozzles over the entire hot end would be preferable. Luckily it seems there are options after a quick glance online.
I’m glad there are 3rd party options. Elegoo shouldn’t be rewarded for making a modular device less so just to sell more bits at once.
Wholeheartedly agree.
