Review on Nozzles for Printer Extruder Makerbot Creality: Additive Manufacturing Products by Andy Baker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Avoid: Expensive junk

Don't trust these nozzles. Wanted some 0.4mm bits and it looked like a good choice. Every nozzle I used was clogged. The alignment test and temporary tower were fine, but halfway through my test print it kept clogging or dripping, and what little that printed looked like it was covered in cobwebs. I figured it must be thermal creep because I had clogs that went all the way to the Bowden tube replacing part of the hot end. nope I heard a knock from my extruder and switched to a Creality all-metal extruder system. nope Replaced the entire hot end (yes, with a modular CR-6 SE) and FINALLY got prints. At this point I suspected the atomizers and replaced the Creality nozzle with them just to confirm this and it clogged as before with a really impressive drop. I repeat: do not buy them! I spent almost a month almost tearing my hair out trying to diagnose problems with these attachments. Over 2 meters of Capricorn Bowden hose, 3 silicone socks, part hot end, full hot end, my extruder feeder…. all because of those POS attachments. The only good thing I can take away from this is that I have a much deeper knowledge of my printer.

Pros
  • 3D printer parts and accessories
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
