Micro Swiss MK8 Plated M2 Hardened High Speed Steel Nozzle (.4mm)

Microzwiss nozzles are great, the print quality is perfect, they are clearly labeled, and the M2 hardened steel eats abrasive filaments like its nothing. You might have to bump your hotend temp up a couple bits since the hardened steel doesnt transfer heat as efficiently as brass, but all it takes is one temp tower and you wont have to change your nozzle for a long time. 100% worth the price

Worked for a day. I used petg and after that it went down hill. Everything would get stuck to the side of the nozzle and nothing would stick to the bed. I switched back to the cheap nozzle and all my problems where gone. I did everything to get it to work.

I’ve purchased many nozzles, from cheap to expensive high end nozzles. I purchased this product to go along with my micro Swiss all metal hotend upgrade to my new build. I thought I’d spend the money and get an overly priced hardened steel nozzle from them, believing it would work as well as their other products. I was disappointed. This nozzle was advertised to contain special coating that prevents sticking and clogging. As others mention, their normal nozzle that comes stock with hotend works better… I get clogs, filament sticks to the nozzle like it’s welded… it’s easier to remove filament from my 1 dollar nozzles from China… I really had high hopes for their product but it fell short of its promises. Maybe I didn’t get a good one as others have said maybe it’s luck or the draw, but I think that would boil down to poor quality control, or just a coating that isn’t durable and lasts. As far as nozzle diameter it’s really good and it did print… but the amount of build up on the sides was just not worth it for me. I have cheap steel nozzles from China that perform better.

The bar for Mk8 nozzles has been set. Its been a few months since I started using this nozzle. The coating is emaculate and the pictures do not do it justice. I literally did not need to adjust any settings to get this nozzle to work. I got well over 1000 hours on my A2 nozzle. I expect this to exceed that considerably. PLA and ABS flow great. If you have a Mk8 work horse like I do, this just adds to the consistency and reliability. Yes, its worth the money. The Chinese clones still dont make M2 with a coating. This is the benchmark. This is the gold standard. You will be hard pressed to find a Chinese clone that can match the manufacturing quality of this. If there exists one, I havent seen it.

Bought these when I decided to print some stuff using shine in the dark filament, but I wasnt expecting any real improvement in print quality. But these things are in a complete different league than regular brass nozzles. No clogging (knock on wood) and handle everything you can throw at them. I increased the printing temperature a bit, but Im not sure its really necessary in my case.

works great, the only problem is you need a slightly bigger wrench than the stock creality nozzle

Was debating on splurging for a Ruby Olsson or a Diamondback, but came across this guy for short money in comparison. I have printed with PLA, carbon fiber PLA, PLA+ and PETG with zero issues.

just what you need when upgrading to micro swisss dirct drive/hot end combo

I wanted to print some large parts (about 1.2kg total), with no detailed features, in carbon fiber PLA, as fast as possible. I used this nozzle with a 0.4mm layer height, 0.8mm width and the results were good. No noticeable wear and tear on the nozzle. I normally run PLA at 200c with 0.4mm brass nozzles, but had to bump it up to 230c, and drop the print speed to about 25mm/s (overall print time is still way shorter than a 0.4mm nozzle at 60mm/s). If you do the math, 25mm/s at 0.8mm is about the max a normal V6 heater block can melt. If you want to go faster, youll need a higher power heater. Great nozzle.
