2PCS A1 Mini Upgrade Hotend Kit, 3D Printer Print Head Hot End Heating Block Kit with 0.2 mm Hardened Steel Nozzle and Silicone Socks for Bambu Lab A1/A1 Mini

I recently upgraded my 3D printer with this Replaceable Hardened Steel Nozzle Hotend Kit, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!Pros:Replaceable Nozzle: The detachable design is fantastic! I can easily swap out nozzles to match my printing needs, which is a huge plus when working with different materialsWide Compatibility: Handles high temperatures (up to 500°C) with ease. I’ve printed with PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU without any issues. The hardened steel nozzle is also great for abrasive filaments.Quick Swap Design: The magnetic block makes installation and removal super easy. No more struggling with tiny screws or complicated mounting!High-Quality Materials: The chromium-plated copper heat block and hardened steel nozzle ensure durability and consistent performance.Cons:Be sure to let the hotend cool before swapping it out, as the heating block gets extremely hot. (This is common with all hotends, but worth noting!)Final Thoughts:If you’re looking for an easy-to-install, high-quality hotend upgrade, this is an excellent choice. The ability to swap nozzles quickly and the durability of the materials make it a great investment for any 3D printing enthusiast. Highly recommended!

Perfects prints no issues worked out of the box

I’m not usually the one to buy aftermarket parts but by the time the manufacturer sends it from America I thought I’d give him a try just as a back up truthfully guys I can’t fault this product. I bought a couple the spares and back up and they were perfectly is not better than the originals worth the money value for money. I would highly recommend this. I have a Bambu A1

fake but still works

It might be me but all my prints have gone wrong while using this hot end. I may change my review as someone suggested to up the temperature on my printer. Good value for money but I’ve been unimpressed so far.16th Dec 2024 UPDATE: after adjusting the temp and calibrating the machine I can confidently say that this nozzle (0.2) is very very good! Used it a bunch of times now and the detail is incredible.

Severe tip degradation & burnt nozzle only after 3 or so prints. quickly frankly the tip that i was replacing is in a better state than this "hardened steel nozzle" kept leading to small knots and imperfections in my prints. I'd just pay the extra for an offical bambu nozzle.

The media could not be loaded. I would normally use only a bambu nozzle but I’ve been waiting 6 days for it to arrive from them, and had to pay £4 for delivery. Amazon less than 24 hours. So far so good on the print quality.

Bought a 0.2 and 0.8 nozzles. So far fits perfectly. Only drawback is I have to recalibrate my filament for the smaller and bigger nozzle sizes. While these may also be hardened steel, you can only specify stainless steel for the 0.2. There may be issues down the line for filament that are abrasive, but I don't use them personally so I shouldn't have any issues in that area.
