Genuine E3D V6 query

I'm looking for a Tungsten Carbide nozzle, not a Tungsten Carbide nozzle alloy. I already have a hardened steel nozzle.

I have had good success with Midwest Tungsten Nozzle

I have one on order to test.

I'm not sure how I missed that place, but I just ordered one to give it a try. I'll report back.

This is certainly good commodity but for me the purchase of one piece is uninteresting because the export costs are higher than the price of the nozzle. Good goods are difficult to obtain in Europe. I would appreciate a feedback and then maybe I will order several pieces.

thanks in advance!

I will do some review of nozzles to include the ones that are available in Europe.

I was going to order a tungsten carbide nozzle from Spool3D. They're in Canada, and I'm in the U.S. The nozzle is $69, but the cheapest shipping on JUST THE NOZZLE is $25!! I doubt if the package weighs more than 1 oz..... That puts it out of my ballpark. Any other good Tungsten Carbide nozzles available in the U.S.? Most of the ones I find are 'Tungsten Carbide alloy'.

I just checked something. I went to Spool3D and went through the check out process up to the shipping quotation several times. I found the same shipping cost on 5 nozzles (one of each size) vs. only 1 nozzle. This is shipping to Delaware in the US. Maybe find some friends who are in the market for these nozzles and split the shipping? I've been printing with my 0.4mm nozzle from there (I purchased 3 nozzles, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 back in December 2019 and paid $30 for shipping for the full order), and like the results. It prints with the same temperature as my original brass nozzle, but doesn't get eaten up when I print carbon-filled or glow in the dark PLA. Though the 0.4 nozzle does have a tendency to get clogged with the carbon filled, so I usually use the 0.6 nozzle for that.
