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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This nozzle gave me print issues. Switch back to the nozzle that came with the MicroSwft hot end and everything was back to normal. Just couldnt seem to get it to quit jamming up ( I tested several temps) maybe it was just the one I got but Im not sure that is use this again... The stock microswiss one seems to be a pretty good one but not this one.
