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

Great product.. works just perfect in my prusa i3 mk3.

Installed on my Prusa MK3, and kept getting periodic filament jams. No amount of tuning could seem to guarantee consistent printing with this nozzle; I was afraid to leave any print unattended with it. I might try it again when I have to use an abrasive fiber in it and I can babysit the print, but until then its back to the stock head.

Will def buy E3D nozzles again!

A considerably better investment than my Olsson Ruby. Having good prints is largely dependent on being able to clean the nozzle properly, which this nozzle is really tolerant of.

I installed this nozzle on my Ender 3. I immediately noticed it was under extruding while doing its first print. I tried to reinstall the nozzle just to make sure I didnt do it incorrectly the first time but the problem continued. I set my extrusion settings to 150% then to 200%. The prints started to stick better but the nozzle became clogged and stopped printing half way through the first layer. You have two options. It will either under extrude or get clogged.

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!

If you are printing abrasive materials like wood or glow in the dark stuff often then this nozzle is great for the situation. If you only print with them now and again then I don’t think you ‘need’ this over the stock nozzle.

I bought my first one of these nozzles about 2 years ago, I am only just now buying a replacement for it and that is with tons of hours of print time under it. Great Nozzle, albeit do need to tweak the settings. On Brass for PLA I have been needing to hit about 220C vs the 200C with a brass nozzle, but considering how long it was before it seems the time to swap it out really serves to indicate the quality on these. Probably should have reviewed it sooner, but oh well.

I usually use this nozzle to print things like wood impregnated filaments or glittter or what have you. I have not tried anything like carbon or glass impregnated nylon yet, but I will likely get E3Ds new nozzle when I upgrade one of my machines to handle nylon.

Tried this on my prusa mini, it just cakes up around the nozzle and clogs no matter what settings I try.
