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

Had to change the nozzle out on my Prusa printer, fast delivery cut my down time and is working great.

This is really well made as expected from E3D. In warmer weather, I was printing everything normally, maybe adding 5 degrees to the standard filament settings in my slicer to compensate for the steels lower heat transfer, and was planning to just leave this on permanently. But as colder weather has set in and the ambient temperature in the room has cooled off, Ive had a lot of issues with clogging even at 20 degrees or more above the original settings, especially in prints with large flat areas. This can also be compensated for by slowing down to allow the steel nozzle more time to heat the filament but personally, Im switching back to brass for the winter.

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.

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.

PLA and PETG sticks to the nozzle enough that buildup will regularly fail prints after about a couple of hours. Z height is set with feeler shims and mesh bed leveling is turned on. E steps calibrated ~ +- 0.05mm over 200mm with the nozzle on, yet flow rate needs to be set at 78% to get ~0.4mm line width. Probably an improperly sized nozzle but I have no way of testing that. Swapped it out for a Microswiss A2 nozzle, reset Z height and line width is now bang on +- 0.02mm at 100% flow rate. This was on a E3D V6 hotend with Bondtech extruder gears. Pictured is the third attempt at printing the bear upgrade extruder with PETG before finally giving up and getting the Microswiss nozzle. It could be something simple but I couldnt figure it out and when the replacement nozzle just worked beautifully right out of the box Im more than a little miffed.

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

Todo exelente

I was getting subpar prints because I was using cheaper copper nozzles that are ten bucks for like 20 of them. Just get this one. Prints improved 100% from first use. Cant wait to break out the glow filament!

it works just like it should. so i bought more hardened nozzles for other printers that i own.

This nozzle has been great so far.
