> 3 dayNot happy that I spent this much money and had to put the old head back so I could actually print again. The nozzle arrived with a nice nick right where the hole is and after messing with this thing 20-30 times the heatbreak snapped in half. I know, you think I over tightened it but I can assure you it was metal fatigue. I bought a $10.00 no name heatbreak, threw away the crappy nozzle and now Im printing nice quality products again.

> 3 dayIm really happy with this upgrade - the stock heating block doesnt seem to hold a steady temp well, and this block preheats in about half the time, meaning Im ready to start printing far sooner. The fact that it has replaceable nozzles is icing on the cake.

> 3 dayA huge upgrade over the stock hotend. This allows printing of high-temperature materials, but also allows significantly higher print speeds due to the all-metal construction having better thermal conductivity. The slotted cooling block allows tight clamping on the heatbreak, which gives better thermal contact. Definitely worth it!

> 3 dayEasy to install using the online instructions. This Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend has printed every filament type I have loaded into my printer, including PLA, PLA+, PETG, TPU, NinjaFlex, and probably others. I did install this with the MicroSwiss all metal extruder plate. I totally satisfied with this upgrade.

> 3 dayWorks Great! I wont spend a lot of time talking about it because a lot people have already done so. I will stay that I just installed this kit on my Wanhao i3 V2. and everything is working like a charm.

> 3 dayThis is a great upgrade. Ive been running this on my Wanhao Di3 for a couple years and have had no trouble with any filament Ive tried... which so far has included both cheap and expensive PLA, ABS, TPU, PETG from many different manufacturers. If I just factored in the cost-savings due to lack-of-trouble using less-expensive filaments, I could justify this hot-end alone. If youre running a Di3 (or a rebrand) I would also recommend the Micro Swiss CNC Machined Lever and Extruder Plate for Wanhao i3 (Full Kit)

> 3 dayUpgraded to this set so I dont have to worry about PTFE liner decomposing. Install was a breeze but of course I broke one of the heating cartridge wires - my own fault, be careful when you do it. Print mostly PETG on Maker Select V2 with stock stepper and D4 drive gear, 0.25mm layers with 0.4mm nozzle at 60mm/sec head speed. Calibrated ESTEP at 3mm/sec which gives me a bit of a headroom for my head speed. It extrudes reliably, probably can push it even faster. Good experience so far.
