Genuine E3D Hardened Steel Nozzle V6 (1.75mm) 0.40mm (V6-NOZZLE-HS-175-400)

Originally got this to print glow-in-the-dark filament. Initially it appeared to be causing jams, but after some troubleshooting I noticed that the filament was getting caught in a step in the middle of my heatbreak shortly after installing the nozzle, what a wild coincidence. After replacing with a new heatbreak, the nozzle prints great. I understand as a general rule, you should print at slightly higher temperature with a steel nozzle, but I noticed in my case that isnt necessary.. maybe because Im using the silicone sock? YMMV, Ill probably just leave this nozzle installed forever.

Nice

This Nozzle has worked very well for me. Prints clean and reliably. Handles everything I put through it including abrasive CF material. Occasionally had to retighten, and had to add an extra 5° C to print settings to compensate for heat conduction being slightly less than brass.

I replaced a brass nozzle a while back and have not noticed any issues with this replacement. Seems to be working as designed.

This is the second time i have bought this tip. I print a lot of glow in the dark and this one holds up. I only bought a second one because i could not get the first one unclogged and needed to keep printing an order. The clogging had nothing to do with the nozzle but I didn’t have the patience to wait it out. Now I have a spare. Totally recommend.

This is a good hardened nozzle I bought for carbon filament. I was afraid the original brass nozzle I had would be worn away by the abrasive carbon running through the nozzle. Ive been using this nozzle on every type of filament I own and had zero issues. Its a little pricey but real good quality.

NO idea whats wrong with this nozzle but NOTHING comes out without curling back to it and getting stuck in a blob of crap.. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING attempted to print turns into a blob on the nozzle. Re calibration of the bed.. changing speeds.. different adhesion with tape hairspray or varying heat NOTHING helps... This is such a HORRENDOUS price for either A: CRAP quality control or B: a GARBAGE nozzle.. Returning it ASAP... AVOID unless you like to gamble!

Good product with the quality I expected. I just wish it was a little cheaper in cost. However I expect it to last a long while.

I used to go through copper nozzles like mad. This hardened steel nozzle might be more pricey, but I havent had to worry about it as a point of failure since installing it. Highly recommended, especially if youre printing composites and carbon fiber materials.

Quite a bit more than brass but well worth it. Lasts much longer and doesnt clog like the brass ones do.
