I think there are 4 kinds those who own the micron and the tuned micronAndre it's holy truth! But I can continue your expression! ... and also there are those who want to try tuned micron, so there are three types of airbrushers
On a new micron? I do not think you would want to mess with any tuning. Aside from the softer spring you already ordered.I'm absolutely new to Iwata, so what (usefull) tuning is out there? I read a lot about replacing the standard spring by a softer one, and as I like smooth triggers, I ordered it already with the gun.
the only thing that would improve the new micron cm sb is the K33 0.18 needle from Foxy studioOn a new micron? I do not think you would want to mess with any tuning. Aside from the softer spring you already ordered.

on both my V2 microns the part you mention : the needle guide can be unscrewed with ease and once that part is out you can use a long small screwdriver to adjust or remove the needle packing . the only thing I didnt like was the teflon needle packing: it is to stiff and causes to much friction on the needle . I replaced it for the rubber version and I am waiting for the Zsolt version that is in the SM K33 so I can replace the rubber one
Someday we'll continue the list of airbrushers types Improvments are always on the way
I'd say that new micron has the softest spring among all iwatas I had. I don't know how Zsolt's spring is soft but the stock spring installed in V2 micron is acceptable. At least I will try Zsolt's one
But there are things that I don't like about V2 microns First one is that the mechanism that moves inside the body which holds the needle inside it (that thing which we screw on the needle chuck) can not be removed from the body without unscrewing another part. I don't know how it's called but who owns V2 undesrstands me. Elder versions give the possibility to remove that mechanism without unscrewing anything, not just anything but usual parts. That part which doesn't allow to pull off the mechanism can't be screwed off by fingers it needs more power which I don't like to apply to my micron Some could say it's not important but for me it is. I disassemble almost all AB parts after each session I have for cleaning. Micron has its special needle packing screw that I unscrewed also (I did it on my chinese knock off "micron" so I intend to do that on the real one). I did that for perfect cleaning. I like clean tools And after cleaning I did a propper tension for the needle o-ring by small screwdriver installed from the back side of the body. On the new version I can't do that. To regulate the tension I can do that through that kinda small "window" in the AB body.
Another thing I don't like is that needle limiter has no hole through it, like elder versions do. Due to it V2 has shorter needle. I know a guy who tried to check if another needle would fit his CM V2. He installed the needle and screwed the limiter and due to that new version has shorter needle, screwing in the limiter caused a brocken nozzle which costs 50$.
So I'm thinking maybe to drill the hole in it. But it only mine thoughts aloud
In Olympos micron there's an old version mechanism which I like more.

Thanks! I have tried as hard as I can with my fingers, but doesn't come off.... When I just took a closer look it has some scratches on, so maybe forced it into position...
I bought it in a shop, so if there is no special trick to remove it, I think this needs to go back...
Just to be very sure it is this part as shown in the attachment.
you should be able to remove it with with ease and just your fingersThanks! I have tried as hard as I can with my fingers, but doesn't come off.... When I just took a closer look it has some scratches on, so maybe forced it into position...
