2020年4月29日 · Being in the 3D printing field I’m sure you would have seen these MK6, MK8, MK10 and E3D V6 terms thrown around without knowing the actual differences. I’ve made this post for that exact reason, to set out and explain, compare and …

2020年4月28日 · MK8 was the all new dual extruder hotend setup on the MakerBot Replicator. The cooling bar was thicker than the MK7 but the same all metal thermal barrier and supposedly, the MK8 has slightly different nozzle geometry internally and externally.

The main difference between MK-series nozzles is that MK6, MK7, MK8 uses M6-threads while MK10 uses M7. The wider M7 thread allows for more space internally, to fit a good PTFE tube or just keeping more brass mass to transfer heat more evenly.

The MK6, MK8, MK10 & E3D V6 are a series of hotends, extruders and nozzle combinations which come together to make a system which allow filament to pass through the 3D printer down to the nozzle, known as an extrusion system. There is …

They seem to be derived from the Makerbot MK8 Hotend which uses M6 threading and not the MK10, as that uses M7 threading. What differentiates the two and can one swap one for the other? nozzle

2022年2月16日 · Mk8 and E3Dv6 are both M6 hot block thread. The heat sink thread is different. The hot block is the low-tech part of a printer, you basically choose the nozzle type and temp sensor and buy whatever brand or details you want. All the “special sauce” in an extruder is in the cold side of the heat break / thermal barrier tube.

2023年6月26日 · A V6 nozzle is usable in a MK8 heatblock with a 0.5 mm z offset change. Mk8 nozzles will not work in a V6 heatblock. The V6 heatblock uses a shorter threaded part of the heatbreak so compatibility there depends on your heatbreak.

2020年7月6日 · I've read some difference between these two nozzles in question "E3D V6 nozzle vs MK8 nozzle, first layer adhesion". Can I use an MK8 nozzle in the v6 heater block and vice versa? I know both have same M6 thread but what tolerance do they follow?

2016年5月13日 · I think it comes down to how sharp is the tip, a very sharp nozzle helps with feature detail, so small highly detailed models come out better. A broad nozzle smoothes your flat surfaces more. If using abrasive filaments such as carbon you might consider a harder nozzle such as stainless steel instead of brass so that it lasts longer.

2022年7月12日 · both mk8 and mk6 nozzles should have metric M6 threads. As long as the "top" of the nozzle is seated against the bowden tube/hot end tube if all metal you should be okay. Not ideal for sure though!
