Notes

  • Micro Swiss publishes its MK8 nozzle as M6 × 1.0, 5 mm of thread, 13 mm overall; that is the size used on Creality Ender, CR-10 and many Sovol printers.
  • E3D V6 nozzles share the M6 × 1.0 thread but are 12.5 mm long, so the two are not drop-in swaps.
  • No CAD file: the maker publishes only overall sizes, and a plain box or cylinder is not useful design geometry. The table is the published data; parts with real geometry have their own pages.

Questions

How long is an MK8 nozzle?

13 mm overall with a 5 mm M6 × 1.0 thread (Micro Swiss).

Is MK8 the same as V6?

Same M6 × 1.0 thread, but MK8 is 13 mm long and V6 is 12.5 mm, so heater blocks and heat breaks differ.
