Generic MK8 Hardened Twin Pack Review
Fine for occasional abrasive prints

Compare the Generic MK8 Hardened Twin Pack with 3 other hardened nozzles
Our verdict
Fine for occasional abrasive prints. Inexpensive hardened MK8 tips survive short runs of wood and glow PLA better than brass, but orifice growth shows up after serious nylon-CF. Treat them as consumables and keep a spare. Overall 7.1/10.
