Microswiss hotend

Blows the stock hotend out the water extremely easy to fit works perfectly well very good prints and heats up a lot quicker

Made my printer functional and reliable

I have had various issues with my K1, but one of the worst has been filament clogging and jamming. I have gone through 3 creality nozzles, all of which failed in the same way. The temperature probe failed. In 2 cases it became detached from the ceramic and on the third it started failing to read temperature properly, resulting in an aborted print.This kit from Micro Swiss has been a massive improvement, I've not had a single issue with clogging or jamming and it's not failed once. It's better designed and made than the creality original. Flow rate seems more consistent and print quality has improved.I would consider this an essential upgrade for the K1.

Amazing upgrade for the K1

I was getting a lot of heat creep with the stock nozzle causing frequent blockages. This has stopped all of that and makes it so easy to change nozzle sizes

Absolute disaster

Fixed it to my K1 max as an upgrade, within a few prints it completely blocked and helped ruin my extruder. Went back to stock, no more problems.

Dubious Quality Control

I have E3D Revos fitted to my other printers, and wanted a "fast change" nozzle system on my K1 Max - so I decided to try this. After the usual struggles with the glue that Creality apply to the heater and thermistor plugs, I powered up the K1 Max, only to discover that the heater core wasn't working at all.I disconnected the heater core plug and connected a multimeter to it, expecting to see 9 or 10 ohms resistance - but it was open circuit. I then connected the multimeter directly to the heater core contacts - again, open circuit.E3D perform a final test on all their Revo hotends, but evidently Micro Swiss don't. The engineering quality looks externally top notch, but they need to improve their quality control.I reported it as DOA to Amazon, who shipped a replacement straight away. 10/10 to Amazon - so I'd recommend ordering via Amazon rather than a third party for this reason. I'd also recommend checking the heater core with a multimeter before you fit it!The replacement arrived the next day, and it works fine. Other than running the standard internal K1 Max tuning tests I changed nothing else - and a 90 minute print ran flawlessly, with the usual K1 Max print quality.My experience was that fitting the hotend is a lot easier with the K1 Max laid down on its side. That makes access to the plugs (and especially the glue removal) much easier. I recommend inserting the two plugs first, as the smaller thermistor one has limited access with the hotend in place. You can then insert and semi tighten one of the hotend bolts, slot one side of the hotend flange onto it, and then wiggle the second bolt in. To avoid potential filament leaks, don't forget to tighten the nozzle itself to the recommended 15 inch pounds torqueSo, overall a very good upgrade to the K1 Max if you're looking for a quick swap facility (apparently a Creality equivalent is in the pipeline, but I couldn't get a release date from them). Nozzle swapping does indeed seem to be very straightforward, but not yet tested.The only nagging doubt I have is over the fact that the standard K1 Max nozzle had thermal compound on the upper end that inserts into the heat break. Micro Swiss don't supply thermal compound and they don't suggest its application to the insert when inserting and securing it to the heat break with the grub screw. So I'm going to keep an eye on that, and will order some Slice Engineering boron nitride compound as a possible "belt and braces" upgrade.In summary - a great product, but Micro Swiss need to improve their quality control.

mostly clogging then printing

well ive had 2 good prints out of about 15 try's with this hot end very easy to install with great colorful diagrams to follow but clog after clog on the first layer i did get around 30% through a print then clogged i was not sure if i installed it correctly , but checking twice with the diagrams and online i did yet tried all different temps , feed rate , retraction and things and still a no go without clogging trying to use hyper pla , pla + and normal silk pla and just clogging. so im done spend yuour money how you want.
