These nozzles are exclusively for use with highly specialised materials that may corrode brass nozzles, or for applications where the tiny amount of lead present in the brass nozzles is not acceptable. | |

I have had very few clogs in my brass nozzles, mostly self inflicted by too much temperature due to wrong filament choice in slicer. I've read that steel nozzles are more prone to clogging. I guess it depends on your experience. | |

gramar, also added note of specialized nozzles that would fit, the keyword to look for and a comparison to what I call "Chinesium" nozzles.

Forgot layer height....
