Nozzle Changing Guide
During this upgrade, you will need:
- Spanner
- Tubular box spanner
- Home the toolhead by moving it to the home position using your printer's control interface.
- Move the bed down 30mm to provide easy access to the toolhead.
- Heat the nozzle to the filament’s printing temperature, then use the retraction button to unload the filament.
- Set the HotEnd temperature to 0°C and wait until it has fully cooled.
- Unscrew the screws on each side holding the fan cover in place. Carefully detach the heatsink fan connector and set the fan cover aside in a safe place.
- Take off the nozzle sock for access to the nozzle.
- Set the nozzle temperature to 240°C.
- Hold the heater block steady using a spanner, then use a tubular box spanner to unscrew and remove the nozzle carefully (be cautious, as the nozzle is very hot).
- Insert the new nozzle, hold the heater block with the spanner, and tighten the nozzle using the tubular box spanner.
- Feed the filament back into the extruder, and extrude the filament using its printing temperature. Make sure to check that it extrudes smoothly through the new nozzle.
- Set the nozzle temperature to 0°C and increase the side fan speed to 100% to speed up cooling.
- Turn off the printer once the nozzle is cooled and reinstall the nozzle sock.
- Attach the fan’s connector, place the cover back on, and tighten the screws on each side.
- Power on the printer.
- Ensure that input shaping and auto-levelling are activated, and run a self-check (Self-check takes around 11 min).

Creality High Flow Brass Unicorn Nozzles Slicing Guide
Feel free to use any slicer you prefer, but ensure it has advanced features that allow you to fine-tune the print settings. This way, you can benefit from the full potential of our High Flow technology. In this guide, we'll be using Orca Slicer (V2.1.0), though we also use SuperSlicer in-house for volumetric flow tests and various other printing projects.
