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

This nozzle replaced a standard brass nozzle on a CR-10S. I put it through the paces with several wood filament prints as well as PLA, ABS and HIPS and have so far not noticed any deterioration. I already ran my nozzle 10 - 20 degrees hotter than most recommended filament temperatures and did not need to make any adjustments to my print temperatures with this nozzle.

I used this on my Micro Swiss hot end installed on my Ender 5. I printed several multi hour prints without issue and no clogs. I also picked up their .04 nozzle as well. Great parts!

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

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

Didn’t fit the CR10S-Pro at all

I don’t understand how people are having problems with this nozzle. I will say that 99% of negative reviews on here are due to user error. I installed on stock Ender 3 hotend to print Carbon Fiber PLA. Installed the nozzle correctly, upped the temp in Cura about 5c (print a temp test tower to find your temp) and started printing. Been through at least 4kg of CF/PLA and 8kg+ of PLA and PETG without any clogs or other problems. The nozzle still looks great, stays clean, and prints beautifully.

Other than the price, you cannot beat Microswiss products. Their nozzles are great and last a very long time. But nozzle tech is catching up and is generally pretty good across the board as long as you match your wear coefficient with your filaments to get good life from them. Would be 5 stars except for the price. Ive started looking around more for alternatives at better prices and have found several.

My general PLA/PETG temps wouldnt work well after replacing. Had to turn the heat and the nozzle up by about 10 degrees first week or so to get ok prints. After the first week, I was able to go back to the standard settings. Super strange and not documented.

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).

For the price of these nozzles, I expected much, much better performance. The plating is supposed to reduce filament sticking to the nozzle outer surface. Not seeing that at all. In fact just cleaning it off with a brass brush after one print job, the plating came right off and exposed the brass nozzle body underneath. Not impressed. Super expensive and prints no better than my plain jane inexpensive brass nozzles. Wont but this again. NOTE: I Love their All Metal Hotend and Direct Drive mods, but not a fan of their over priced nozzles.
