Creality Official 5pcs MK-HF Nozzle with 2pcs Sprite Extruder Silicone Sock, Copper Alloy Nozzles for Ender 3/V2/Pro/Max/Ender 3 S1/Pro/Plus/Neo Series/Ender 5 Series/Ender 6/CR-6/CR-10/Sermoon D1/V1

I wanted a direct drive, all metal hotend setup on one of my Ender 3s and decided to go with the sprite. Overall, I am very happy with it. I think the cable management aspect is an excellent feature. All connections, including cr/bl touch terminate at the extruder and run back to the mainboard on a single ribbon cable. I havent had any issues with clogs on the all metal hotend so far, but of course I have dialed back the retraction settings a bit and the stock sprite fan setup seems to do a pretty good job of mitigating heat creep. When changing nozzles, be sure to secure the heat block very well, as it seems to be a little less secure than other hotends.

These are usable with pretty much any ender given the screw size. They work well and offer a terrific selection of sizes. If you are still using the original .4 tip I recommend this batch to try out the .6. You may never go back.

On visual inspection, these nozzles appear flawless. So far Ive tried the 0.6mm size, and it has given really good results with more consistent lines than I had been getting with a 0.4mm nozzle. Unfortunately my extruder doesnt seem to be up to the task of cranking up the speed as some people do with the wider nozzles. The listing mentions V2, which I read to mean Ender 3 V2, but the silicone socks do not fit the stock extruder on my Ender 3 V2. Not a problem for me as I dont need a new sock, but worth noting for anyone who does and has the E3V2.

I bought this hot end to help with temperature stability and increasing flow through my ended 3 S1 Pro. I upgraded my S1 Pro with the Sonic Pad from Creality and flow was something needing to be upgraded to get more speed and reliability out of my machine. Highly recommend

I ordered these nozzles for use on my Ender 3 Pro with a standard hot end. The Amazon listing was a bit confusing and seemed to indicate that they were intended for use on an Ender Sprite extruder hot-end. However, there was no need to worry, these MK-HF nozzles appear to have the same dimensions as the MK-8 (see photo) and I had no problems fitting them to the standard hot-end on my printer. I didn’t have to adjust the printer z-offset to use these nozzles with a bed leveling sensor. The two silicone socks were designed for the Sprite hot-end and so I couldnt use them. The new nozzles are made from nickel-plated copper alloy which is stated to be better than brass (which is actually a copper alloy anyway) at conducting heat to the filament as it passes through. The nickel plating apparently helps stop filament from sticking to it so it should flow better. Also it should help stop the filament from sticking to the outside of nozzle. I use PETG filament a lot and all my brass nozzles quickly become coated externally with molten filament which can randomly deposit itself on prints while they’re being printed. These new nozzles seemed to stay clean during printing (see photo). The slight difference in shape may be a factor, too. The copper alloy is claimed to be 2x harder (at 6 mohs) than brass and so it is almost as hard as hardened steel (7 – 8 mohs), better at conducting heat and be able to be used with more abrasive filaments like carbon fiber, glow in the dark, wood, etc. In use, I was very pleased with the performance I got. Surfaces seemed to be a bit cleaner and certainly the nozzle stayed cleaner.

CR 10 Smart Pro, can confirm it works. TL;DR - Works with CR 10 Smart Pro, takes maybe 20 minutes to change and get printing total. VERY RECOMENDED Had a reading on my screen of -15C (yes, negative), after I had gotten a failure during a print stating there was a thermal issue. Decided it might be the thermistor and found this product. Figured it was worth a go since it was around 30 bucks. I had an issue removing my old one, but thats on me, I broke a screw in the cooling block. After I got that cleared I was installing this guy and have it printing already. If I hadnt messed up it probably would have taken 15 to 20 minutes at most to get it fully installed and calibrated. I wasnt sure if Id want to use that nozzle or not, actually decided Id just use one of mine I have already here because I know and trust them. Very quickly set the z-offset and its already printing. Very easy, just take your time if you arent sure what youre doing.

These nozzles come in 0.25mm (qty 1), 0.4mm(qty 2), 0.6mm(qty 1), 0.8mm(qty 1) and two silicone socks. I will be exploring using the other size nozzles later this summer. I still will need to research what settings need to be adjusted to accommodate other size nozzles like feeding speed and retraction. For now, I am only testing the .4mm nozzles. Unfortunately, the silicone socks do not fit my hot end. I have others so that is not a big issue. Having now done several prints with this new .4mm nozzle, I find it works well and print quality is every bit as good as the older brass nozzle it replaced. I think over time it will last longer than the brass ones, but where I think it will really shine will be with high ware filament like marble filament, wood type filament and glow in the dark filament. Using these nozzles should last a lot longer.

This is a requisite upgrade if you are looking to use high-temp filaments such as PETG or ABS. I also think this is a nice upgrade, in general, if you are looking to improve heat transfer between the block and heating element (e.g., higher/faster nozzle temps). Materials and construction appear robust, and I have no question that this a genuine Creality part. It also comes from a reputable Creality reseller. This is relatively plug and play, making it perfect as a replacement part or upgrade!

Perfect to have multiple sizes and sock, and to have plated copper instead of steel. When using hybrid filaments (PLA-CF, silk, matte), you may get better results and avoid under extrusion by switching to a 60 nozzle, for example. With the latest slicer updates, you can get pretty nice results with the larger nozzle in these cases. There is also a small nozzle for those slow, precise prints, like lithophanes, small parts, etc., but you would be carefully selecting your filament and making sure your extruder is fully cleaned.

Works with ender 3 v2 and sonic pad with an edit of the printers config file
