Looking for recommendations for printer components to use with SIO-2 PRAI 3D Clay?

Nozzle Size: Nozzles are very varied, and all sizes can work (0.4 - 10 mm). Using one or another depends on several factors, but the most important (limiting) is the extrusion pressure. That means, it depends on the compressor of the printer. The more powerful, the finer the nozzle can be. We have extruded with 0.4-0.6 nozzles. The most common is between 0.8-1.2 for small parts and between 3.0-4.0 for larger parts, but as mentioned before, it depends on the machine and the fineness of the work. The printer company “WASP” has a compressor and works with fine nozzles. “3D Potter” usually works with thicker nozzles.
Nozzle Composition: Brass, metal, etc, will work fine. It depends if they rust or not. Many of the nozzles are 3D printed and made of plastic, especially when they are wider.
