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

Bought to add onto my Ender 3 Pro. Easily attaches the CR touch with its built-in mount. I added an additional z axis motor to help with the extra weight. The direct feed is so much better, but it does require some changes to your print program. It was also a pain to setup with the Creality Sonic Pad but once I got it all working its been very consistent.

Running certain filaments through your printer will increase the size of the opening in your nozzle. For this reason, I think it is important to have extra nozzles on hand. This set allows me to have extras on hand so I dont get caught without one.

This Sprite hot end is a Great deal if your looking to upgrade from your stock hot end and extruded, I am newer to 3d printing and install was similar to a brick build follow the instructions one step at a time and you will be fine, be cautious of how the piece lines up on your machine, one bolt on the carrier may need to be reversed or adjusted to prevent colliding with the z axis. I personally had to print a mount to move the CR touch I installed to the back towards the x axis rail. But that part stl. is available if you look online. Very pleased with the first print results!! Worth the investment so far! Pay attention to how everything lines up and where your Cr or Bl touch is sitting vs your print bed!

Depending on the system your using and your knowledge and ability this can turn into a rabbit whole of issues. The potential is there do your research and pay attention to the details. Like compatible the ender 3 Max the Max Neo is not listed different motherboard and screen cr touch although compatible no available firmware compiled for this combination at this time that Ive been able to find. New Neo firmware has just been released but dont see anything regarding the sprite. Will be uploading a cr touch/ sprite bracket for the Neo soon will try to fine tune a little more before uploading. Should resolve some offset issues with a simple small print.

I actually got this to swap in so I can keep my existing heater block and titanium heatbreak as an emergency spare. Ive used a copper / titanium alloy heatbreak in previous printers and found they worked great for preventing heat creep when using higher nozzle temperatures for filament like ASA. Installation was easy. I had to remove the Sprite unit from the gantry. Once I cleared the hot glue from the thermister and heater connections on the board, I unplugged both cables. I removed the two screws hidden underneath the silicone sock and loosened the grub screw on the back. The old heater block assembly slid right out and the new one in. Reinstall the two new screws first, then tighten up the grub screw. Dont forget to run a hotend PID calibration. I didnt notice too much of a difference swapping up to this heatbreak, but it is a little better. If you print at high temperatures and are finding youre having heat creep issues, this should help.

Be warned! This is not, as creality makes it sound, an easy thing to upgrade too! It took me months and multiple FB group help posts and a friend to get this installed and proper firmware installed!!!! Know what youre doing

These were ordered for and tested on my Ender 3 Pro which has a Sprite Extruder. I tested printing a Voron calibration cube. The improvement between those cubes printed with my usual nozzles (any 0.4mm brass nozzle on sale) and those printed with these nozzles is considerable. Even though these nozzles are slightly more expensive than the standard, I believe they are worth the investment and highly recommend them. Its also nice that two silicone socks were included.

I am so happy with this item! It is exactly what I was looking for and it matched the description perfectly. The quality is amazing, and it feels very durable and well-made. It definitely met my expectations and even exceeded them in some ways. I would highly recommend this item to anyone who is looking for something similar. It is worth every penny!

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.

Clog free, no thermal runaway at 50mms with nylon carbon or PETG. Ive run 1mm nozzle at .8 layer height and IT THROWS DOWN. .8 nozzle at .5mm layer is draft quality. Best .4mm nozzle at .2mm layer is super fine for nylon and PETG. I went from an E3D V6 to this and very impressed.
