Question about different nozzle brands

Hi,

I'd like to know how compatible are the different nozzles sold online. Most of the web sites sell MK8 or E3D compatible nozzles so I assume they are a little bit different. My printer has a proprietary hotend and requires teflon tubing on the inside of the nozzle, so the inner diameter of the nozzle has to be 4 mm. Do the MK8 or E3D nozzles have 4 mm inner diameter? If not, is there an alternative?

Thanks...

we'll probably need more information like which printer you have, what hotend is on it, i do carry a nozzle with a 4mm inside diameter, do you have a picture of your current setup?

Hi,

The hotend is produced by a local manufacturer, and I can say that it is very simillar to E3D's hotends.I took 2 pictures of the nozzle in a low light condition so they are a little bit blurred but I think it should be clear enough. The whole nozzle measures approximately 15 mm, and the part with screws measures 5 mm. The first 3-4 mm of the screwed portion has an inner diameter of 4 mm I suppose.

Thanks.

What Version E3D? That is not a V6 nozzle. The E3D Lite6 has a ptfe tube all the way down to the nozzle, but it also uses the same nozzle as the V6 which does not have a tube that goes past he heat break.

thats actually very similar to what i use in my hotends, the ptfe tubing acts like a sealing mechanism , i stock these on my website see the links below

I've checked your website and your nozzles seem to be very similar indeed. I just have to check if I have M6 or M7 for size. Is shipping by letter reliable (I was planning to buy 4, so the registered method would be too expensive for me)?
