SUPERIOR GEOMETRY
The new internal geometry of the E3D v6 nozzle has brought together community feedback and extensive testing. The new nozzles have been designed from the ground up, and have been optimised to reduce back-pressure, ease filament flow, and improve retractions.
The bottom flat surface of the nozzle flattens down the layer of plastic, for each nozzle size this has been customised. On the smaller nozzles, a small tip gives high precision. Whereas on the larger nozzle, a large flat tip improves the finish when printing large layers.
All nozzles are now identifiable by the markings seen on the flats of the hex head. See the table below to identify each nozzle.

Got this to print some food grade bits with my standard PLA and later on some Bio Material. Used to printing with brass nozzle so after swapping to SS nozzle I had to crank up the temps a bit. It would actually print the standard gcode I used for the brass nozzle but suffers from stringing and the PLA print is brittle.
I adjusted the temp for PLA all the way up to 245 °C and now it prints like a dream and the prints are really hard despite they are PLA ^-^
Really recommend for someone who doesn’t mind additional testing. For me it was only the temp I had to adjust for my desired object.
