Selected User Reviews For Micro Swiss MK8 Plated M2 Hardened High Speed Steel Nozzle (.4mm)
It's either that mine doesn't have the coating or that the coating isn't working. The standard brass nozzle that came with the microswiss extruder was replaced with this. I've been printing with the hotend for a while now, and I've recently started printing carbon fiber polycarbonate. Because the standard brass nozzle wore out quickly with this material, I ordered the MK8 plated M2 nozzle, which boasted "superior non-corrosive wear properties" and "superior non-corrosive wear properties" with carbon fiber. properties of sticking" These properties did not exist, and no matter how low I started my prints onto the build plate, nothing would not stick to the nozzle. Any material that curled up became stuck, and as the nozzle attracted more and more material, the nozzle became encased in a ball. I tried carbon fiber PC and PLA, and they all gave me the same results. br>br>Next, I tried the A2 hardened tool steel MK8 nozzle, but no material stuck to it. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong or if my nozzle has a coating defect; I did receive two nozzles due to an Amazon shipment error, and both nozzles appear to be the same, so I'm not sure if there is coating and it's just not working, or if there's something else at play.
I had print issues with this nozzle, so I switched back to the nozzle that came with the MicroSwft hot end, and everything was fine. I couldn't get it to stop jamming up (I tried a few different temperatures), so maybe it was just the one I got, but I'm not sure I'd use it again. This one does not appear to be as good as the stock microswiss version.
I put in a day's worth of work. After using petg, things started to fall apart. Nothing would stick to the bed, but everything would stick to the side of the nozzle. When I went back to the cheap nozzle, all of my issues vanished. Everything I could think of was done to make it work.
I bought these when I decided to try printing with glow in the dark filament, but I didn't expect much of an improvement in print quality. br>However, these aren't in the same league as standard brass nozzles. They don't clog (knock on wood), and they can handle anything you throw at them. br>I raised the printing temperature a little, but I'm not sure it was necessary in my situation.
I haven't printed enough filament to know if these last longer than other nozzles when printing abrasive filaments, but these (I bought the 0. 6 and 0. The four-millimeter versions are incredible. Since I installed them, there hasn't been a single clog, even when switching between materials that are very different in temperature (temperature-dependent). wise). It is also very simple to clean the exterior. This is an excellent product.
It's a peeing nozzle for your bed. It's all good.
When switching to Micro Swiss's direct drive/hot end combo, this is exactly what you'll need.
The only issue is that you'll need a slightly larger wrench than the one that came with the Creality nozzle.
