Micro Swiss Plated A2 Hardened Tool Steel Nozzle RepRap - M6 Thread 1.75mm Filament 0.4mm

We are running Matte PLA and the brass nozzles are only lasting 3 weeks. We have used these coated steel nozzles for a couple of months and great results so far. Not needing to clean and replace so often is worth the price over the cheap brass.

This was on a Christmas list so it must be something special.

Bought for ender3pro 2 years ago. Been running ever since. About install new one just to start fresh. Not from any issues. Running stock hotend with cappricorn replacing original nylon tube. No clogs No issues with length. Adjustment to endstop for glass bed and this nozzle verses cranking spring down and running out of Adjustment.

I bought this to replace the stock nozzle that comes on the Ender 3 hotend. When I installed the nozzle I noted that it was a bit long as a few threads remained exposed. The few exposed threads don't seem to hurt so long as the nozzle and the bowden tube are properly seated.Update: This nozzle continues to perform admirably. My printer has been upgraded to an E3D hotend and I use the Micro Swiss nozzle for carbon and glass fiber composites. The TwinClad coating is so-so, it performs about as well as a brass nozzle in terms of accumulating excess plastic. To maintain the Rockwell hardness of this nozzle, hotend temps should be kept below 300C. However, it appears that A2 steel maintains a Rockwell hardness of 56 from about 315-480C. Since the base range is advertised as between 62 and 57, one might reasonably be able to use this nozzle for even the more demanding high temp applications.

Adding a steel nozzle to 3D printer is a great upgrade whether printing PLA or more abrasive filaments. Standard threading and length made installation very easy (had to perform a very slight Z-offset to firmware due to the slight difference between brass nozzle). I have been printing with this nozzle on my Ender 3 pro all metal hot end without issue (just need to increase heat a little). No sign of wear in over a year of constant printing of PLA and with steel nozzle could uprade to more aggressive filaments.

I have 2 creality ender 3's. I have one with a "run of the mill" stainless steel nozzle and one with this particular nozzle. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I will be ordering another for my other Ender 3 for sure. The ONLY criticism is the threads are too long for the ender 3. it will bottom out and there will be some threads exposed. BUT I have been running it for a couple months now and I have not had one clog or under-extrusion issue! I clean both my Ender 3's twice a month though due to the high volume of prints. Anyways, WONDERFUL product, made all the difference for my 3d prints! :)

I wanted to start printing Carbon Fiber Poly-carbonate on my Snapmaker 2.0 so I got this nozzle - M6, 0.4 just like I needed. The problem is the filament is oozing out of the threads eventually making its way down to the tip and ruining prints about 45 min - 1hr in. Obviously this also makes removing the nozzle a PITA since you have to heat it to operating temps first to unthread the nozzle and try and pick the excess off the hot end threads with tweezers. I'm not sure if I got a defective one, if this isn't a MK8 (didn't see it listed anywhere), or if the long threads are playing into this although I suspect not and it is tightened down all the way. Whatever the case, $20 later and several bad prints/wasted PC CF I wouldn't recommend this if you have my printer although it does seem to work well on others.

The nozzle is easier to clean compared to plain copper or hardened steel ones, yet nothing like how "nonstick" "polymer-phobic" people tend to advertise it. My PETG filaments still stick to it like hell. Maybe I'm not using it the right way, but still.

Purchased this to print Wood PLA, works great and have had no issues. Would by this again in an instant.

Welp. Micro Swiss stuff are usually pretty damn nice. It's a shame I ordered the one that doesn't fit my Creality Ender 3 Pro.

Diese Düse ist einfach notwendig wenn mit abrasivem Filament wie Magnetc etz. gedruckt wird.
