Features

  • Drop-in upgrade: FlowTech hotend is designed to be an easy drop-in upgrade for each 3D printer model. This updated edition is designed for Creality K1 / K1 Max and K1C . Stock z-height, build volume and firmware remains unchanged.
  • Leak-Proof Nozzle: Tired of messy nozzle leaks that ruin your prints and waste filament? FlowTech Hotend combines nozzle and thermal break into one permanently sealed assembly that ensures a leak-proof hotend.
  • Cold Nozzle Change: Swapping out nozzles used to be a time-consuming and potentially hazardous task. With a FlowTech Hotend, nozzle changes are effortless, and there's no need for hot tightening, and you can do it with just one hand.
  • High-Flow Characteristics: Ceramic cylindrical heater and 28.6mm melt zone provides excellent volumetric flow rate.
  • All-Metal Design: Built to last! FlowTech hotend features an all-metal design that can handle most modern 3D printing filaments. The entire hotend is machined and assembled in-house, with quality control performed at multiple stages during the manufacturing process. At the end, each hotend undergoes a full thermal cycling test before it is packaged.

    • One of the best and easiest upgrades you can do.
So, when I got my new K1 Max, I was ecstatic. From opening the box to my first benchy...less than 45 minutes total. Now...there was NOTHING wrong with the printer AT ALL. It's a phenomenal machine right out of the box. But...I wanted to make sure I had replacements "on hand" for the inevitable. That included a replacement hotend. I did order a replacement direct from Creality, but then started reading about MicroSwiss and all the other print fanatics out there with their reviews. So, I decided to bite the bullet and order one of those the K1 Max as well...and a hardened steel 0.4mm nozzle. When it came to replace my first hotend, I skipped the stock replacement and decided to throw this in first. And I have not - ever - been disappointed. This thing really is great! Is it better than stock? Maybe? I am not a "print-head fanatic" by any means, so I never got into EVERY single aspect of this. All I know is that since I've changed it out...I've only had issues that were on ME (or filament)...never with the hotend. It prints flawlessly...every single time. It's quick, maybe even quicker (higher flow) than stock, but I've never messed with max flow rate. All I know is I can throw anything at it and it just prints. I only print PLA and PLA-CF, but even then...no swapping, no clogs, no stringing...nothing! Now, I do have some fat fingers, so trying to get it installed - only because of the tiny pins on the printer itself - was just a bit tight, but installation was straight-forward and easy. And, just having the option to do a COLD swap - if and when needed - is just icing on the cake. I've purchased several other hardened steel nozzles just to have - another 0.4mm and a 0.2 for finer details - and just got the diamond tip from MicroSwiss itself...again...just to have. That original nozzle in the FlowTech hotend has nearly 1,000 hours on it now, and it's still as good as the first day I dropped it in. ... show more

    • Excellent hot end.
Easy to install, works well, heats faster than stock. Fit for old style or new style K series, and at least one new style (unicorn nozzle) can be used with existing nozzles by leaving out the long tube included in the kit. Unicorn and Flowtech are not compatible though, so to switch styles later, the hotend must come off again. ... show more

I have a Creality K1C printer. I have owned ESUN TPE 83A filament since the spring of 2024 and never could get the printer to print it. I have 95A TPU that is was able to do, roughly a max of 60mm/s, and absolutely didn't use retraction, bc everytime at some time it would jam and the print would fail. I got this hotend and changed nothing in my settings and opened a model, loaded the TPE I have never printed, and FINALLY!! I can print this filament!! I cannot believe it was fixed by changing my hotend. Never would have thought it. I kept getting bugged about a xmas gift idea, so I told my fiance this hotend for a gift AND I had no idea why I would want it, everyone just says it's a great upgrade. All of my prints have been super smooth, same settings as I have always used, the key difference is I have not had one failed print yet. What am I printing? Check the picture out. It weighs about 3 pounds and used a full roll of filament, TEQ-Stone White TPU. It is capable of moving my 1979 Scorpion Whip 440 snowmobile at its full 80 mph down the road. It is called a drive sprocket, and they were originally nylon and would explode when they failed. It is the piece that actually drives the track under the snowmobile. I making a lot more than trinkets with my setup, and this hotend is VITAL to that success. Cannot praise this thing enough. Make sure you order hardened tips though, for the carbon fiber plastics. The fibers help inter-layer adhesion and help strengthen the piece a lot. One other thing is the stringing while printing TPU is soooo much less with this. Almost none, and I have changed no settings in the creality slicer with retraction and such, the only difference is the hotend, and yet the difference from the stringing during the prints is night and day. ... show more

    • Keeps clogging
Item is described as high flow but I keep getting clogs. It prints fine for an hour or two then clogs, I've spent more time unclogging than printing.

    • Fantastic Upgrade
This review is comparing the older design of creality hot ends. I understand they have re-designed their hotend but my printers are older and don't have this design. If you have an older K1, keep reading. The stock hotend was fine, but occasionally you have issues where you don't get good layer adhesion or something. Just odd issues that crop up and make things less than totally reliable on printing. I've replaced the stock with this on 2 of the 3 K1s I have, and my father also swapped on his printer. It completely changes the reliability of the printer in a positive direction. There is also a small quality improvement. It's actually easy to change out nozzles and filament based on the re-designed heat brake and design of this nozzle. The are however quite more expensive to replace than standard K1 nozzles, but they hold up much longer while printing, more abrasive materials. ... show more

    • Serious heat creep issue over time
I have 6 (in batches of 1 2 and 3 as i got more printers) of these installed and they all failed around the same time after about 100hrs of print time. The heat creep issue is insane, checked every companent possible and cleaned and reinstalled the hotend, could "cold pull" after a print at 120C. Incredibly disappointed. Worked great while it worked. update: the brass nozzles it comes with a trash. you will need to upgrade to the copper or upgrade to unicorn e3d obsidian nozzle. ... show more

    • Microswiss Flowtech Hotend Upgrade for K1 MAX
This product helped fix the issue with the K1 MAX with the pre-install nozzle which would have filament build up between the cool and hot end. Great nozzle to fix that issue. There are a handful tutorials for the replacement of the nozzle on YouTube and it should help even the ones who are not technically inclined. ... show more
