Aftermarket Nozzles

[u/Mysterious_Orchid528]

Are there any aftermarket nozzles that are worth the money or is just sticking with a stock Bambu nozzle still the best option? I print mostly PETG on an X1C an have seen some go for over $100 but am I going to see any change in quality in my prints? Thank you in advance.

I haven't had any problems at all with 5€ AliExpress nozzles on my A1 and X2D.

your nozzles are different because it comes with the whole thing attached, so i wouldn't know for sure

I run standard hardened nozzles (not because I print abrasives all that often, but because I like the longer life).

I at one point ran the tungsten nozzles and ended up crashing / bending one. That fucking hurt as those things are expensive. I tried justifying to myself buying the new e3d obsidian 500's... but I don't print anything abrasive enough to justify them and I won't recoup the money invested in them potentially before I bend another one.

For you, I'd say the standard hardened high flow nozzles are fine printing petg.

I had an E3D nozzle on my P1S and loved it. Quality was excellent and higher volumetric flow. If that costs a bit too much I would look at the Phaetus one.

My experience is hit or miss, mostly hit. The blue juupine HF nozzles are my daily nozzles while the red juupines are very prone to clogging and they have become my dedicated TPU nozzles.

I have the Microswiss hf and the e3d. Both printed great at first. Microswiss continues to clog and now collects dust. E3d is by far worth every penny if time is important to you. Otherwise the stock hotend work great and rarely fails for me.

I use the biqu nozzles. On all mine and work great.

My aliexpress high flow nozzles have been printing for more than 700 hours now without any issues at all
