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

I have not printed enough filament to tell if these outlast other nozzles when printing abrasive filaments, but these (I bough the 0.6 and 0.4mm versions) are amazing. Not a single clog since I installed them, even when swapping between very dissimilar materials (temperature-wise). The exterior can be cleaned very easily as well. Excellent product.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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