Any hardened nozzle should work.

Personally, I use WC (Tungsten Carbide) nozzles from Spool3D in Canada with the MK6 adapter as my everyday nozzle so I don't have to worry about swapping in a hardened one if I want to print something abrasive. But to use WC nozzles (single material style) you can't use an aluminum heater block as the thermal cycling will loosen the nozzle up no matter how much you tighten it. I did finally find plated copper heater blocks for the Nextruder from Levendigs in the Netherlands.

Obxidian works well for me.

I'm printing with glow in the dark PLA on a MK4S, and have been having issues with prints, and was told that glow in the dark filament is abrasive for the nozzle we currently have at the makerspace.

I'm looking to invest in either a MK4S or CORE One. What should I use for a nozzle to minimize the abrasiveness of said filament?
