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

Printing: CF PETG (260) PETG (245) and TPU (230) Smooth reliable prints. Expensive for just one nozzle but it is doing the job on my Micro Swiss Direct Drive. Extremely pleased how well it prints Atomic Filament Carbon Fiber PETG Extreme Pro (NOT shown in image). Yes I would recommend. Just wish the price was a little better.

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.

Worse nozzle I have ever used. Worked OK for first print in a bowden setup with Micro Swiss hotend. I started having clogging issues after the 1st print. Cleared the clog and it would get about 1/4th way through the print and clogged again. I upgraded my setup to direct drive and reinstalled the nozzle and couldnt even start a print without clogging. I removed the nozzle and reinstalled the old A2 nozzle that came with the Micro Swiss hotend and everything is working as it should. I do NOT recommend this nozzle. Never had clogging issues with A2 nozzles. The Micro Swiss A2 has been the best cheap nozzle Ive ever used. I recommend the A2 Hardened tool steel nozzle. So much better then this High Speed Steel Nozzle.

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.

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.

Working good on my Neptune 3 pro.

Its a nozzle that pees on your bed. Works fine.

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.

I think for what this is it didn’t work I bought this for specifically printing carbon fiber and it just stuck to it like glue and every time I had to stop the print eventually I figured out it was the tip and switched to the original and it worked fine. I don’t recommend buying this at all maybe I got a defective one but I wouldn’t risk it.
