What is MK8 hot end?
This is a performance MK8 All Metal Hotend Upgrade. It includes a coated nozzle and coated thermal barrier tube. If you are working with abrasive Carbon Fiber, Stainless Steel, wood filled or any other metal filled filaments, this will greatly improve the life of your nozzle.
Is MK8 an ender 3?
By default, the Ender 3 printers come with a 0.4-mm brass nozzle, which fits in the heat block with an M6 thread. These printers use the MK8 due to its simplicity, effectiveness, and because it’s open-source, so it has a large following amongst hobbyists.

The Creality Ender 3 offers a nice print volume compared to other 3D printers for its small dimensions of 440 x 410 x 465 mm. The 3D printer fits perfectly on every desk.
What’s the difference between a Mk9 and a Mk10?
MK10 was a complete change of the hotend, using the MK9 as a base model (uses MK9 feeder parts). With this range of hotends you have smooth OD thermal barriers along with a 4mm OD 2mm ID PTFE liner. One of the main differences is the MK10 uses M7 threads rather than the M6 threads which all the previous models use.
What’s the difference between Mk7 and Mk10 nozzles?
M7- This nozzle uses M7 thread, unlike previous versions. Though nozzles seem similar, there are differences in the size thread they use, creating different objects. Now all nozzles will do what you need, but certain types may not work with your printer. The Mk10 is excellent but only for a select few printers that use 4mm PTFE tubes.
Which is better MakerBot Mk10 or Mk8?
Nozzle Shape- Makerbot created a totally new nozzle shape on the inside and outside of the printer. This can give you a unique look when compared to the other nozzles. It is also a tad bit smaller than the Mk10, which can be great for intricate designs and a specific look of objects.
What’s the difference between the Mk6 and Mk6 +?
The MK6 range, to my knowledge was the first commercially available hotend sold as a whole kit rather than individually. It has a stainless steel heater block whereas the MK6+ upgrade kit has an aluminum block which a different design, making it smaller and lighter.
