Micro Swiss MK8 Plated A2 Nozzle 0.4mm - 1.75mm

MK8 nozzle for longer life with abrasive filament

The Micro Swiss MK8 Plated A2 Nozzle 0.4mm - 1.75mm is an MK8-style 3D printer nozzle built for improved wear resistance when printing abrasive materials. It is made from A2 tool steel, heat treated to 57-62 RC, and finished with TwinClad XT plating.

Key features of the Micro Swiss MK8 plated nozzle

• MK8-style nozzle format for printers and hotends that use MK8 nozzles
• 0.4mm nozzle diameter for general-purpose 3D printing
• Designed for 1.75mm filament
• A2 tool steel construction for higher wear resistance than standard nozzles
• Heat treated to 57-62 RC for added hardness
• TwinClad XT coating to support longer service life in abrasive printing conditions

Best uses for abrasive carbon fibre, wood-filled, and metal-filled filaments

This hardened and plated nozzle is suited to users printing with abrasive filament types that can wear softer nozzles quickly. Materials listed in the original specification include carbon fibre, stainless steel, wood-filled, and other metal-filled filaments.

For makers, prototyping users, and print environments that regularly run filled materials, the Micro Swiss nozzle helps greatly improve nozzle life while keeping the familiar MK8 nozzle format.
