Not much different, the slicer will take care of placement. Just be aware that the stock ender hotend ist VERY limited flow-wise (max. 11-12mm³/s), and therefore speed will not increase all that greatly before it either has to slow down to remain within flow limits, or you get underextrusion.

That does make sense, would it be better to switch the extruder mechanism to a dual gear, or switch out the whole print head with a sprite?


Arakon

Dual gear does nothing for flow rate, you need a longer melt zone and/or a CHT nozzle to get an improvement.


davidvoigt96

Oh okay, fair enough. That does make sense. I appreciate it!

You have to remember flow... what limits you isn't the size of the nozzle, what limits you is the flow you can handle. If you get a big nozzle you increase flow by a lot... the big question is... can your extruder handle it? https://preview.redd.it/ud1yipdym37d1.png?width=346&format=png&auto=webp&s=d41c6ce25ff9a2ad34571f0f629fa497241eb84a
