Axeyil 3D Printer Nozzle Set Review (2026): Worth It?

Axeyil 3D Printer Nozzle Set Review (2026): Three Alloys and No Instructions

A new printer owner needs nozzles, needs the two wrenches that change them safely, needs needles sized for the orifice, and does not yet know which alloy matters. One of those four is not in this box.

For $17.99 it delivers forty-five MK8 nozzles across brass, stainless steel and hardened stainless steel, in nine diameters from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm, with tweezers, both wrenches, five 0.15 mm cleaning needles and a brush. What it never says is which of its three materials belongs to which filament.

In short: this 3d printer nozzle set earns 7.3/10 from the Blue Rays Technologies team. The rest of this 3d printer nozzle set review sets out exactly how that score was reached.

Key Specifications

Published specifications for this 3d printer nozzle set, taken from the manufacturer listing.

What This 3D Printer Nozzle Set Contains, Counted

The listing itemises the contents precisely, which is more than most multipacks do: brass nozzles at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm, two of each, plus sixteen at 0.4 mm; stainless steel at 0.4 mm times eight, 0.5 mm times two and 1.0 mm times one; and hardened stainless steel at 0.4 mm times four. That totals forty-five nozzles. Added to those are curved tweezers, straight tweezers, an L wrench, an open-end wrench, five 0.15 mm cleaning needles and a brush.

The distribution is sensible. Twenty-four of the forty-five are 0.4 mm, which is the size that gets consumed, and the odd diameters arrive in pairs so a 0.1 mm or 1.0 mm experiment does not end the moment the first one clogs. The two wrenches matter too: one holds the heater block while the other turns the nozzle, which is the correct way to change one without stressing the heat break.

Three Alloys, No Guidance, and No Way to Tell Them Apart

This box contains the three materials that the whole category turns on, and at no point does it say which filament belongs to which. Brass is for PLA and PETG and conducts heat best. Stainless steel is the food-adjacent and slightly harder option. Hardened steel is the one that survives carbon fibre. A buyer handed forty-five nozzles in three alloys and no guidance will fit whichever one comes to hand, which defeats the point of having bought three.

It is worse than an absence of advice, because the nozzles are not individually marked by material. Unlike the Creality kit in this comparison, which engraves the diameter on each body, nothing here distinguishes a stainless 0.4 mm from a hardened 0.4 mm once both are out of the packaging. Four hardened nozzles, which are the most valuable items in the box, become indistinguishable from the eight stainless ones the moment the tray is disturbed.

A Stated Weight That Cannot Be True

The specification block gives “Item Weight = 0.317 ounces”, which is about nine grams. The contents are forty-five brass and steel nozzles, two pairs of tweezers, two wrenches, five needles and a brush. A single MK8 nozzle weighs roughly one and a half grams, so the nozzles alone account for several times the stated figure before any tool is added, and the package is listed at 6.81 by 3.74 by 1.3 inches.

The number is not merely wrong, it is borrowed. The hardened steel five-pack reviewed elsewhere in this comparison, made by a different manufacturer and first listed two and a half years earlier, states an item weight of exactly 0.317 ounces. For five small nozzles that figure is plausible. The same value appearing on a forty-five-piece kit with four steel tools is a field copied from one listing to another, and it is the clearest evidence in this comparison that the structured specification blocks on this shelf are not checked by anybody.

Limitations and Compromises

Only four of the forty-five nozzles are hardened, and all four are 0.4 mm. Anyone buying this box for abrasive filament is buying four usable nozzles and forty-one they will not fit, and at that point the dedicated hardened five-pack in this comparison is both cheaper and more appropriate.

The title says fifty pieces and the copy itemises forty-five nozzles plus six tools and five needles, which adds to fifty-six objects. Neither count matches the headline. The same sentence uses three different material names, “hardened steel”, “stainless steel” and “hardened stainless steel”, for what appear to be two materials.

Dimensional quality is unstated. The Creality and Mudder listings in this comparison both publish or imply a tolerance; this one claims only that the contents are “abrasion and heat resistant to ensure durability and long life”. At forty cents a nozzle, some variation in the orifice is a reasonable expectation rather than a complaint, but it means this is a box for experimenting with diameters rather than for dimensionally critical work.

Setting Up This 3D Printer Nozzle Set

Sort the box before you use it. Separate the three alloys into labelled compartments on day one, while the packaging still tells you which is which, because nothing on the nozzles themselves will tell you afterwards. The four hardened 0.4 mm nozzles are the items worth protecting.

Use both wrenches as intended: the open-end wrench holds the heater block steady while the L wrench or socket turns the nozzle. Changing a nozzle by turning it against an unsupported heater block is how heat breaks get bent, and a bent heat break is a far more expensive problem than a worn nozzle.

The five 0.15 mm needles are for clearing a partial clog in a 0.4 mm orifice while the hotend is hot, not for reaming it. A needle larger than the orifice will open it permanently, which is why the included size sits well under the common diameter.

Who Should Buy This 3D Printer Nozzle Set?

This one suits some workshops far better than others.

• You are setting up a first printer and own no spares at all
• You want to try diameters from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm cheaply
• You do not yet own tweezers, wrenches, needles or a brush
• You run a CR-10, Ender 3 or other MK8 machine
• You are willing to sort and label the contents yourself
• You want the broadest coverage per dollar in this comparison

Look elsewhere if any of the following describes you.

• You print abrasive filament and need more than four hardened nozzles
• You need to know which alloy you are fitting
• You already own the tools and want nozzles only
• You need a stated dimensional tolerance
• Your printer uses a proprietary nozzle assembly

The Verdict

As a first purchase for a new printer this box is hard to beat. Forty-five nozzles across nine diameters, the right tools to fit them, and cleaning needles sized correctly for a 0.4 mm orifice, all for $17.99. Most of what a beginner needs to stop treating the nozzle as a fixed part of the machine is in here.

It scores 7.3 because the thing the category actually turns on, which material to use for which filament, is the one thing it declines to explain, and because the nozzles are not marked by alloy so even a careful buyer loses track. Add a stated weight that is physically impossible and a piece count that matches nothing in the copy, and this is a genuinely useful box described by a page nobody checked.

Review score for this 3d printer nozzle set: 7.3/10. Strong on breadth, tooling, diameter coverage and price per nozzle; the compromises are no material guidance, no alloy marking, only four hardened nozzles, a piece count that matches nothing in the copy and a stated weight that cannot be true. Blue Rays Technologies researches independently and earns a commission from qualifying purchases, which never affects the score.

If you want the current price and the latest buyer feedback, it is listed as the Axeyil 3d printer nozzle set on Amazon. For the regulatory background on nozzle alloys, the EPA definition of lead free under the Safe Drinking Water Act sets the American figure at a weighted average of 0.25 per cent.

3D Printer Nozzle Set — Frequently Asked Questions

The questions buyers ask most often about this 3d printer nozzle set, answered plainly.

Which nozzle in the set should I use for PLA?
Brass, because it conducts heat best and PLA is not abrasive. The set does not say so, which is its main weakness: three alloys arrive with no guidance on matching them to filament.

How many hardened nozzles are in the box?
Four, all at 0.4 mm, out of forty-five nozzles. If abrasive filament is your main use, a dedicated hardened multipack is the better purchase.

Can I tell the alloys apart once they are unpacked?
Not reliably. Nothing on the nozzle bodies identifies the material, so sort and label them while the packaging still distinguishes them.

What are the 0.15 mm needles for?
Clearing a partial blockage in a hot 0.4 mm orifice. They are deliberately smaller than the hole so that clearing a clog does not widen it.
