I'm a 3D printing noob, but I've been happy with the Prusament for PETG and PLA; haven't had a single issue. I've never shopped; no idea if its a good value. I'll be trying their ABS once I make an enclosure.
i have been running the same nozzle in my Ender5 since it was new (more than 1-1/2 years old)Same with PLA, I would assume? So is it a wear issue?
my understanding is the SPLA, is PLA (which is derived from cornstarch and/or sugarcane) combined with PETGThe nozzles seem to last forever with PLA. I have issues after printing SPLA (PLA+) for a bit. SPLA is a blend of PLA and "other". My working theory, which is often wrong, is that higher temps required for the "other" is too hot for the base PLA. The PLA ends up scorched to the inside of the nozzle, restricting it.
The nozzles can be cleaned. But at the price point for the Mk8 nozzles, my time is worth much more to me.
