> 3 dayVery simple, this is a good nozzle. Its machined well and has a clean bore. The coating helps with very sticky filaments like PETG (better than brass or plated copper). Effectively you will not wear out this nozzle, ever. So its a good value. Optimally, add 5C to your print temps and do a PID Autotune at your most common print temp for greatest effect.

> 3 dayCouldnt ever get it to work. It kept clogging like no other. I tried different nozzle temps, extrusion speeds, fan speeds, bed temp. Every single time I used it it clogged. Switched back to brass and it worked fine. Exterior dimension is thicker thany brass nozzle and didnt fit any of the wrenches I had,I used pliers to tighten it Maybe I got a bad one, idk, but I can not recommend. Pros were fast shipping and looked shiny and clean.

> 3 dayI 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).

> 3 dayGreat little nozzle. Works awesome! They dont tell you to clean it though! Ours shipped completely blocked with black plastic or rubber.

> 3 dayWorks 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.

> 3 dayWas going to use to print carbon fiber filament but this item was shipped with other items and pretty sure it got thrown away because you can’t see it that’s how small it is. Ordered another one and almost lost that one until I ripped the box down!

> 3 dayFor the life of me I cant figure out how this nozzle warrants such high praise. Youd expect a $20 nozzle to outlast a cheap Chinese nozzle by several orders of magnitude. Well thats not the case. This nozzle wore out faster than the cheap Chinese hardened steel nozzles that I had previously used. The claim that nothing sticks to it is a joke. PETG sticks better to this nozzle then it does to the bed. The tiniest amount of filament that curls up and touches the nozzle will instantly bond with the nozzle creating a snowball like effect, the next thing you know the entire nozzle is covered in filament. Of course its possible that I may have received a defective nozzle or maybe they accidentally shipped me a plated brass nozzle. But my experience isnt anything similar to what anybody else is reporting..

18-11-2024I 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!
