The FlowTech™ Hotend is a new generation hotend line from Micro Swiss. Its unique design eliminates common hotend issues such as leaking nozzle seal and complex nozzle swaps.

Keeping with our philosophy, the FlowTech hotend is designed to be an easy drop-in upgrade for each 3D printer model. This edition is designed for Creality K1. Stock z-height, build volume and firmware remains unchanged.

Made in USA by Microswiss

Features:
  • 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.

  • 300°C Max Temperature:
    This hotend is rated at 300°C temperature with a properly tuned NTC thermistor for each specific printer. This particular edition is perfectly tuned for Creality K1 / K1 Max and K1C so no firmware changes are needed.

Fits:
  • Creality K1
  • Creality K1 Max
  • Creality K1C

ABS printing flawlessly, consistently

I had 0 luck with the K1 Max, every print clogged, until I got this, havent had a single failure at all except one when I used 45% humidity ABS filament on a wrong bed, ever since then printing ABS with no problem(with the brass flowtech nozzle btw), about to try it out with PET-CF but with the diamondback nozzle, super excited.

Awesome product even better customer service

I've been using the MicroSwiss Flow Tech hotend on my Creality K1 for a few months now and I couldn't be happier with its performance. The upgrades significantly improved my printing results. However, I encountered an issue where the filament started breaking mid-print. Unsure whether the problem was with my K1 or the Flow Tech hotend, I reached out to MicroSwiss support. They were incredibly responsive and helpful. After a bit of troubleshooting and sharing details of my issue, they sent me a replacement right away, no hassles. It's reassuring to see a company that stands by its product and prioritizes customer satisfaction.

The FlowTech Hotend for the Creality K1,K1Max and K1C

I have a Creality K1 Max 3D Printer and purchased the MicroSwiss FlowTech Hotend. Once I removed the Creality hotend from the machine, installation was easy and all parts were included. There were even extra parts because there is some difference from the original K1 Max and the newer version of the same model. MicroSwiss even included new screws and parts for both versions of the K1 Max. Also included was a small tube of thermal grease to apply to the copper sleeve for better thermal transfer. After the installation of the Hot end, it worked great and I have been printing continuously without any issues. I have used other parts from MicroSwiss in the past and they have always provided better red-designed and quality parts and assemblies. Thanks MicroSwiss.

Single best upgrade for the K1 series

Purchased one of these immediately after purchasing my printer. I didn't have any experience with creality hotends and didn't understand how spoiled I had become. I switched to a unicorn style hotend from creality after I seized a nozzle in my microswiss after 8mos of continuous use and I cannot stress enough how dissopointed I was with crealitys garbage hotend. For standard polymaker petg I had to run at 275C and 125mm/s with a 9mm3/s to even complete a mediocre looking print. After 1kg of filiment I went back to microswiss. With a standard brass coated nozzle at 250C I print at 250mm/s with a 19mm3/s max flowrate with excellent uniform melt and layer adhesion. No strings, no clumping, and excellent bridging. To anyone struggling to print petg on a k1 series printer, I'm here to tell you it's not your fault. This gets you printing petg like pla without overworking the garbage hummingbird extruder. If anyone from microswiss reads this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE design and offer a drop in extruder for the k1 seriesto go along with all your other exceptional quality printer components. There aren't enough words to show appreciation for your products

great upgrade for the k1c and k1 max

I recently installed this on both my k1c and k1 max. I immediately noticed the print quality was better and filament changes were easier.
