The hole in my nozzle is too big. I must have messed it up cleaning it.
let me know if you have any problems assembling...Awesome. Thank you. I ordered the parts from Amazon already so I can just put the printer together with the parts already upgraded.
My printer is still not up and running, have been distracted with many things, with the house, parents health and work stuff. Just looked at that relay tonight and there is no way my 12 AWG wire will fit in the holes of the relay that the connectors were using, drill them out or just find some more connectors?
My new nozzles arrived today along with some of these solid bearings https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPRCMJS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It looks like it is printing much better.
On another note I tried a titanium nozzle today because, well, I found them for an awesome price and I thought what the heck. I'm glad I only bought one because when the cooling fan kicked on it would pull the heat out of the titanium nozzle faster than the speed of light. Needless to say I went back to stainless. I've had really good luck with the stainless and have yet to wear one out. Usually I have to replace the stainless ones after a very long service time due to them clogging up vs wearing out.
Ive had no luck with any sort of steel... Always way too cool and ramping heat adjusting pid tuning etc still results in poor quality and underextrusion. So i just run brass and replace as needed.
Put the Ender 2 together. It seemed pretty straight forward. Had an issue with the bed being really wobbly, but saw on a video that there is an eccentric nut on the inside wheel that fixed it.
I'm so new to this I didn't even know how to get the nozzle down to the bed and start leveling or even how to feed the filament or start a print. After watching a few videos on Youtube I have it printing the model that came on the mini SD card right now and amazingly it seems to be doing fine.
I will say that the it seems like the bed leveling would be easier if there were four adjusters, but I eventually go it pretty close.
This video, besides being horrifically long, was very helpful. I would suggest to anyone putting one of these together for the first time to watch a shorter video and then if your still having issues, slide the slider around on this one to wherever he is on the build and get the info you need. He talks a lot and asks a lot of questions to the people following his build (when it was live), which pretty much answered all the questions I had.

Thanks everyone here for the help also. This is way out of my wheelhouse.
Nozzle diameter should be .4, right? Filament 1.75.
