Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend with Slotted Cooling Block for Wanhao i3 w/.4mm Nozzle

I wouldnt use any other hot end with my Monoprice Maker Select V1 and Maker Select Plus. Both printer couldnt print worth a damn when I first got them. I installed these hot ends and they both imminently had good prints cranking out of them. The best part of this hot end? It allows me to insert and pull the filament right out of the extruder without having to go through menus and having the machine do it slowly. This helps a lot if you change colors often mid-prints.

I could not be happier with this purchase. It is by far one of the best upgrades that Ive done to my Maker Select V2. (nothing more than a Wanhao just rebranded with a few upgrades) I honestly wish that I would have listened to all the people before and just upgraded out of the box and saved myself some time and hassle. I had to up my temperatures from 195 to around 220 with standard PLA which they say is to be expected. The quality of my prints is noticeably better. I also had to adjust the retraction settings quite a bit and was even more so than what Micro Swiss had said I needed. After I got it dialed in though this thing is awesome. Im excited to try more exotic filaments and feel like I can achieve good prints without worrying about wrecking my extruder. Save yourself some time, and just order it. Then print the Z axis stabilizers.

made all my problems with printing PETG go away.

This thing is great! Huge improvement over the stock hotend. Easy to install.

Its working like a charm. Easy to install. After doing a PID tunning with Octoprint i have not had any issues.

Excellent all metal replacement for MK10 hotend on several models. I used it for a Wanhao Duplicator I3 v2.1 and have had no issues with them. They work really well with PLA, PETG, ABS, and wood so far for me. No worries of melting PTFE liners or whatnot. Following the instructions is key to success, however they are pretty simple/ My only gripe, which is not a problem with Micro Swiss is that nozzles are a bit pricey(but really nice), and I would like a cheaper alternative/source for replacements. I like to have several nozzles around, but at $15/piece for the basic one, this is a bit impractical.

Obviously a used return, barrel was chewed up like it was tighted with pliers and wouldn’t fit in the block. Should have bought 10 from China for less money and at least had something I could use

good

Absolutely awful. Constantly jams due to heat creep. Constantly oozes filament. I have gone through countless settings and upgrades to coolong to try to fix this product. I am over $100 into trying to get this piece of $50 trash to work. I through with it, anfdit is now in the trash. I will be buying the flexion extruder just to get my printer working again. Do NOT buy this unless you ABSOLUTELY need extremely high printing temps and are pepared to dump many hours and ample funds into getting it to work. You are much better of buying a flexion, the extra cost of the flexion is offset by all the aditional time and money you will spend on getting the micro swiss to work.

This is the single best upgrade I have done on the Maker Select V2. Worth every penny.
