<p>I'm new to 3D printing and I recently got my first 3D printer, an Ender 3 Pro by Creality.</p>

<p>I've tried to find information about the type of nozzles should I look for. I'm trying to find stainless steel nozzles but there are so many models (M7, M8, etc.) and I have no idea what nozzle type I should get.</p>

<p>I've tried searching on Google but the only info I could find is that the extruder is an MK-10.</p>

<p>I am also looking for a heating cartridge for the hot end, but I still cannot find no information about the size that I need (15 mm/20 mm/30 mm). Also looked for info about the heated bed so I know what kind of thermistor I need (I found two types and no clue which one to get).</p>

<p>Where can I find some technical information about these?</p>

MK10 uses smooth OD thermal\n  barriers with a larger 4mm OD 2mm ID PTFE liner. MK10 also uses M7\n  threads, vs the M6 of all previous models. This is because a 4mm PTFE\n  liner is barely enough metal to make the outer tube with m6 threads.\n  MK10 is completely incompatible with all previous hotend parts. Every\n  part is different. Mk10 still uses MK9 feeder parts.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>You could measure your current heat block (the width of the Aluminium block); if you look at the MK10 drawings  of a proper M7 MK10 Makerbot (or derivative) hotend (below) you see that the width of the block is about 19 mm (which would be the length of the heater cartridge).</p>\n\n<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9TftHm.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9TftHm.jpg" alt="MK10 Aluminium heater block dimensions"></a></p>\n\n<p>The CEO of ToyBuilder labs explains the difference between an "MK10" and an MK8 in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnI0aeTw9iA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this video</a>:</p>\n\n<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ah8Od.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ah8Od.png" alt="&quot;MK10&quot; vs. MK8 nozzle"></a></p>\n\n<p>As can be seen, your nozzle clearly is not an MK10.</p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 7367, 'author': 'Gone Coding', 'author_id': 13402, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/13402', 'pm_score': 4, 'selected': True, 'text': '<p>The Ender 3 takes an M6 thread (metric 6&nbsp;mm diameter).
