Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend with Slotted Cooling Block for Wanhao i3 w/.4mm Nozzle

The Maker Select V2 was my first 3D Printer, and this hotend was one of my first upgrades for it. It has been running reliably for more than 2 years. Ive now got a small farm including 3x Maker Selects, Ender-3, CR-10, etc. and use the Micro Swiss all metal hotends on almost every single one of them (Creality machines use a different model). They are drop-in replacements, take about 10 minutes to install and work great.

Absolutely awful. Constantly jams due to heat creep. Constantly oozes filament. I have gone through countless settings and upgrades to coolong to try to fix this product. I am over $100 into trying to get this piece of $50 trash to work. I through with it, anfdit is now in the trash. I will be buying the flexion extruder just to get my printer working again. Do NOT buy this unless you ABSOLUTELY need extremely high printing temps and are pepared to dump many hours and ample funds into getting it to work. You are much better of buying a flexion, the extra cost of the flexion is offset by all the aditional time and money you will spend on getting the micro swiss to work.

Looking at the infill during print with this hot end, I can see a finer structure than with my stock hot end. I followed the instructions about reducing retraction in my Cura profile and have had no problems with clogging.

It installed easily in my Maker Select V2 using the many published guides and videos. I have only tried PLA but it works fine.

increased my printers performance a great deal. They provide very good instructions for installation and the hotend was shipped in a well protected package.

Works great. Make sure you follow the directions to the letter. Also have to print a little hotter than you did before and reduce retraction. Most people complaining of clogs miss these two tips.

After I installed this in my 3D printer (replacing the original parts), my prints are vastly improved. Cleaner prints and faster prints are possible and I do not have nearly as many malfunctions or clogs as in the original. Completely worth the price!

this is my first upgrade. it was a straight forward installation, maybe took 20 minutes. my Maker Select is now able to print at 100-150mm/s (after some fine tuning) woot. *Also bought a better cooling fan and ran PID Tune after installation.

I had to replace my hotend after melting my last one that came with my monoprice select clone, and this thing is great. Have had no hotend clogs since upgrading and would definately recommend making this upgrade if you can.

Well made but this hot end clogs easily and has been a huge pain. I tried everything from PID tuning, retraction changes. The prints were good when i got it flowing but wouldnt last. Not recommended. I have swapped out to a e3d v6 hot end with no further issues.
