These terms MK6 and so refers to the version in a long series of different parts. If you are interested in seeing some of the best tools and accessories for your 3D printers, you can find them easily by clicking here (Amazon). If you use the wrong nozzle on a hotend, it might just not work or could actually lead to some damage.The differences between the nozzle types are quite small, but can make a difference.Make sure if you are getting an extruder, it is compatible with your 3D printer.I’m going to get into the details of what makes each nozzle different, while also comparing compatibility and other bits of information so read on to find out. The mains ones you would have come across are the MK8, MK10 & E3D V6 range. ![]() ![]() It started from MK1 and to my knowledge has gone all the way up to MK11 so far but it isn’t very common in the mainstream 3D printing market.
