HF 0.4 Brass nozzle wear. Replacement with ED3 high flow nozzle ?

Hello,

unfortunatelly I had printed lots of glow in the dark PLA parts ( much less than a kg) at high speed and found today that the tip of the nozzle is gone !

Now I need a replacement. The prusa brass CHT is not available, but they offer E3d high flow nozzles.

Will I get the same performance with the MK4S ? I also think about buying the hardened obsidian version.

any experience or recommendation ? 
very best regards

Ralf

E3D makes the Prusa Nozzles, or at least they used to.  You should have no worry about using E3D nozzles.  They are high quality.

All the Prusa Nextruder nozzles are made by E3D, no matter where you buy them. If you are printing glow in the dark, you need to buy the ObXidian nextruder nozzle. Glow in the dark filament is one of the most abrasive filaments you can use, so it will very quickly destroy any brass nozzle.
