Review on πŸ–¨οΈ SIQUK Printer Extruder - Makerbot vs. Creality: A Detailed Comparison by Will Schimmel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Probably not for Prusa i3

What interested me the most was the 0.2mm nozzle for my Prusa i3 MK3. It got clogged for me for the first time, but it was easy to unlatch. I used Prusa brand PLA so it's not a bad filament. Another try and the thread started seeping down the sides. Yes, I did my best to tighten it. SIQUK nozzles have a shorter thread length than the standard E3D V6 nozzle. I think this led to the weakening of the extruder assembly. Be sure to set the Z-axis sensor before starting, otherwise you may damage the print surface with that pointed nozzle like I did. It might still be a great option for other printers, but not for the Prusa i3. Also, there's always a chance I just don't understand how to tighten the extruder assembly to accommodate the short threads. Treat every review with a grain of salt.

Pros
  • 3D printer extruder
Cons
  • Can't remember
