I have one, but I bought it from the original creator (link in the article). But I didn't have time to test it.

I use a airbrush nozzle in my Delta for several month now and dont want to miss it..I use 0.3mm... sure..large prints takes longer..but i also print lots of scenery and tabletop minis and hmm hard to describe...its more on the point with airbrush nozzle compared to a normal nozzle..which is more like ironing the print. Details are better with the Aitbrush nozzle...where with a 0.4 normal nozzle my layerwidth is about 0.45 its on the 0.3 airbrush nozzle 0.32..
So..whoever print more detailed should try it

So I recived the one from Aliexpress, and it sucked. The threading was all wrong, and could not get it to be tight - But found out it was because it was a fake one. It oozed from the top of the threading, and was one large mess, but it seemed for the 20 sec where it didn't ooze, that it helps with my retraction,

I found out the original one was from Well Engineered, so I now have tried to get one of those, and see how well it performs. From what I have seen from others, it really works well - just as long as it is not made by the chinese.

To be fair, my "original" airbrush adapters are made in china, too. I just had to find the quality supplier!
On the way to this, I got more than 300 bad nozzles, just with some measurement off or leaking or such.

Any idea what to do with it? XD XD

Its pretty nice with the 0.2 nozzle...
