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

I bought 2 for my 2 prusa mk3s. One clogged immediately, which could have been the glow in the dark pla and the nozzle being too hot. But the second one worked for about a week then made uneven extrusions that couldnt get passed a 3rd or 4the layer. I changed the nozzle back and everything is working fine. Pretty annoyed that both nozzles had issues. *Update I returned the problem nozzle a month ago to get a replacement and still have not received a refund or replacement. *Its been two months. The second nozzles bore is also not straight. Very displeased with the amount of headache this has caused me. I straight up want a refund for both nozzles. The return on the first nozzle has still not been processed

I can swap a nozzle in less than 30 seconds. Ive never had a new brass nozzle wear out mid-print with carbon fibre. I dont know anyone who has. Yes, brass wears out... eventually. So will hardened steel...eventually. I can buy 24 brass .4mm nozzles for $8, delivered tomorrow. Thats 34 cents a piece. The cheapest decent hardened steel runs $23. Ergo, 74 brass nozzles for 1 steel. Stick with brass, and I dont have to worry about temp variations or anything, really. So, why bother? Out.

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.

No complaints, in the same time that I had to go throu about 6 brass nozzles, this one is still printing like a champ even glow in the dark and wood materials

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.

Purchased Genuine E3D Hardened Steel nozzle for printing exotic materials. Nozzle is made of high quality hardened steel which lasts indefinitely longer than softer nozzels. Highly recommended for anyone printing exotic materials like carbon fiber composite filament!!!

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!

I’ve run a fair amount of carbon fiber reinforced nylon through it and still puts out beautiful prints.

Used it with abrasive and non abrasive filament. Did not have to adjust temperatures for either type compared to brass nozzle.

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.
