Looking to maybe upgrade my kid's creality cr6-se, so we can move into the more exotic materials.

It appears that I have two options for an all metal hotend, but I can't find any comparisons. Not besides a reddit post from 2020 stating that the Prima Creator is a knock off.

So have anybody tried one or both and care to speak about the experience?

I can’t speak to the prima hotnend, but the micro Swiss hot end is wonderful and I’ve never had any issues with it. Their hardened nozzles are my go to for any abrasive printing as well.

Solid products. I doubt the primas could get any more capable/reliable without substantial cost increases,
