The Micron is certainly one of the best ABs, but that doesn't mean it is perfect! Especially when it comes to personal preference!
Just to use one example: The needle limiter of the Evo/Infinity can be adjusted and then you can activate or deactivate it without touching the adjustment. That seems not to be possible on the Micron. So you need to find your adjustment every time from scratch. Nothing really bad, but that I find very comfortable on the Evo!
But far to early for me to judge on a device I have received a couple of hours ago.
That limiter is just for show, nobody uses it. You bought a Micron, you should be able to control lines by now.
@pcDoc as crap as that is it happens to the best of us, well most of us. Dont let it dis-hearten you mate. Ive put four new ones on mine in about a yer which could have bought a new one
How did ya tighten it?? You shld really only hand tighten it.Thanks, but to be honest if I break another one in the next year I will sell it immediately. I pay so much attention to not break it, but if it breaks again like that, this is a design problem. I never broke a needle nor a nozzle on my Evo in 4 years and this within the first day.
I dont think most do not remove the nozzles on those. I could be wrong. I intend to treat mine as one piece at all times.I tightened it by hand and then with the tool it came with, but there was not really any force needed to turn which is why I stopped immediately and took it off again to check.
Kept me from ever considering a high line.I clean mine with a long rigger/liner brush while still on the head. That is why I will never recommend a HP, Hi-line, Revolution or Neo. With all of them you have to remove the nozzle with the tool and people break them if not careful.
On another note since ive had my olympos, i have only even removed the head assembly once. Because of the way the bottom is designed any heavier settled solids do not get to the needle.Kept me from ever considering a high line.
My eclipse gets the nozzles pulled just about every time i use it.. not that it takes more than seconds.
My bcs gets really thick paints, and my cs gets wicked. With com art true I dont usually remove it. But its ridiculous easy. And I like removing my needle through the front to wipe it down then I reinsert from the back. Habit after I pulled paint back at the seal r and it let go and clogged my nozzle hard.
For cleaning it. I think removing it with the fluid nozzle head doesn't really give good access to the nozzle for cleaning. But at the moment I would prefer to have a not 100% clean, rather than a broken one...
Btw, what is that red stuff?
