Micro Swiss MK8 Plated A2 Tool Steel Wear Resistant Nozzle (MakerBot, CraftBot, Creality, CR10, Ender 3, Ender 5, Tevo Tornado) .4mm

Works great on the Monoprice Ultimate 2 So first of... many review complaints state they have to increase the temperture settings to get good print... and that their old temperature settings worked great with cheap brass nozzles so why dont they work with this expensive nozzle... then they give this nozzle a bad rating. It PHYSICS! Brass conducts heat much faster than steel. The temperature sensor is in the heating block, not the tip. So the system doesnt know you changed to steel tip that does not conduct heat as fast as brass. As a result you will need to run tests with your favorite filaments to figure out what the best temperature setting is for the steel nozzle. Once you take the time to figure out the new temperture, it works great and last A LOT longer than the cheap brass nozzles. Its your choice, take the time to figure out settings for a nozzle that will last a long time, or keep buying cheap brass nozzles and throwing them away.

Didn’t fit the CR10S-Pro at all

It is a quality nozzle. I havent run anything abrasive through it to know if it would last longer then a none hardened nozzle. The 8mm tip is great for prints that dont have a bunch of small details, cuts the time to print in half.

I bought this after reading some reviews i wanted a nozzle for future prints with abrasive filament but it didnt even make it to that! Originally i received what appeared to be a used/returned nozzle, no big deal i contacted the seller and they promptly sent me a new replacement. So when i set up the first print with PLA, filament instantly started to just curl out onto the nozzle and clogging. I tried cleaning it, switching filament, adjusting temperatures but nothing. Opening of the nozzle seems to not be fully circular , not drilled out properly.

I thought the stock Ender 3 v2 was great on its own but these somehow made the PLA lines even nicer without any adjustment. Not sure how but Ill take it!

I am on my second one of these nozzles. I dont think that the first one had to be replaced but I was doing some maintenance so I changed it. The first one lasted me at least 6 months with hundreds of hours of printing with no problems. They are a little pricey compared to regular brass nozzles but youre limited to what you can use with the micro Swiss hot ends. At least they last a while.

I added this to my ender 3 s1 for faster print times and to print abrasives more reliably and so far so good!

The larger nozzle works great for large prints of materials like PETG and ABS. No loss of detail when printing at normal layer heights. Greater layer heights result in faster prints for large prints but still maintain more than enough detail. Be sure to pair this with the Micro Swiss all metal hot end to achieve the best results.

Seems legit a file won’t cut it!

I believe in honest reviews and this nozzle was not worth the $20 bucks I spent. I was in a pinch and needed one fast and I ordered this one and now I am sending it back. I had better prints from cheaper nozzles instead of this one. I would classify myself as an advanced enthusiast, and sadly I was disappointed because I wanted it to work. If youre looking for a good nozzle head over to the TH3D and talk to Tim and he will get you squared away. For those enthusiasts looking for a good nozzle, you would be correct in your search to find one. Its one of the most common simple overlooked upgrades. Do not buy a grab bag of 10 cheap nozzles from an unknown company because you will get what you pay for. If youre a new user especially make sure you spend a few bucks for a decent nozzle because you will be amazed at the difference in your print quality. Personally, I would stay away from this one. Cant recommend it, sorry. One final note, sadly there are a lot of knock-offs on the market and I dont know if this one was or not. If it is and I am leaving a bad review for no good reason I will change my review. I am still investigating this with the Manufacturer (more to come).
