Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for providing a liquefier nozzle flexure to at least enable ironing of a 3D print, to thereby improve print quality. The apparatus, system and method may include: a controllable print head for providing the 3D print; a liquefier capable of liquefying deposit material for providing the 3D print; and the liquefier nozzle flexure mounted between the print head and the liquefier that allows a distance between the print head and the liquefier to vary when a resistance is encountered at a print nozzle tip.
