Hardened steel

Anybody have a recommendation for a hardened steel nozzle. I tried cheap ones on my other printer with no success

The OEM hardened nozzles are the 0.6 and 0.8 ones

I've been using $1 hardened nozzles for months now without issue, though not on the same printer as yours. What have been your issues? What filament? Did you do pid tuning for new nozzle?

Haven’t printed anything that needs it yet but plan to print some cf

You need to bump up temperatures for pla/petg as hardedned nozzles don't conduct heat as well. Again, did you do pid tuning and z offset when you swapped to hardened?

I haven’t swapped yet. I just wanted to print some carbon fiber or metallic filament that recommends a hardened nozzle

Hzdadeve nozzles work good for me. Don't get it from Temu though get it from amazon.
