Microswiss Brass Plated Nozzle for FlowTech™ Hotend (0.4mm)

Fixed my issues completely. I was chasing every issue for under extrusion. Creality even sent me a new extruder thinking that was the issue. In the end, this was the perfect fix. No problems since installing and it was very easy to put in.

I installed the MicroSwiss hot end when I was assembling my new SV08. I can now cold swap the FlowTech nozzle in one minute, using only one hand and nothing more than a 7 mm nut driver (DYN2804, on Amazon). Replacing a nozzle on the original hot end required removing and reinstalling the heater and thermistor without damaging the fragile wiring, while getting thermal paste all over my fingers. That's why I've never swapped nozzles to optimize printing. It was such as hassle that I only replaced nozzles when needed to fix a broken 3D printer. It's so easy now, I can install a 1.0 mm nozzle to quickly print large items, or swap to a hardened steel nozzle to print carbon fiber filament.I also love that MicroSwiss makes hot ends for most popular 3D printers, and will continue to do so. Any FlowTech nozzles I buy will work in my next 3D printer, just as soon as I replace the manufacturer's hot end with the compatible MicroSwiss hot end. All modern 3D printers use high flow nozzles that are very similar to the Volcano nozzle, but just different enough that we need to buy the manufacturer's new proprietary nozzles. A year or two later, when that 3D printer is obsolete, those new proprietary nozzles go in a landfill. It's a scam, but MicroSwiss isn't playing that game.

I use the .8 nozzle on my machine I run it 8-14 hours a day 7 days a week works great for me

American made for those who perfer. Great customer service and a high quality made product. Whenever I get a new printer I always first see it Microswiss makes upgrades for it.

Great nozzle that lasts at least 2-3x as long as the stock Creality brass nozzles on my K1 Max. Have not had a problem with clogging on these, despite no increased vfr. Careful if you clean with a wire brush, as scratching the surface can cause future sticking.

Yo gotta love this US based company. MicroSwiss just gets better and better at making parts for the business ends of 3D printers. Yes, they cost more, but you get what you pay for and these are some of the very best nozzles I've ever used. In particular, I like them for printing PETG where their more polished and rounded tips are less likely to scrape up and collect blobs of melted plastic.

Works very well in my K1 Max. Lasts longer than creality brand nozzles.

When switching over to the new hot end I found out you can't buy just any nozzle. So I picked up 2 extras to have on hand. They work well!!
