Source for MK8 M7 nozzles (for Qidi X-Plus II)?

I just recently picked up a Qidi X-plus II in order to print with Nylon and Polycarbonate. For those familiar with Qidi, it is the successor of the original Qidi X-Plus. It's my second 3D printer.

One of the two included extruders (for low-temp prints) uses an MK8 m7 nozzle. and this is not a common nozzle size as far as I can tell. I intended to print with a 0.6 nozzle, but I'm having a heck of a time finding replacement nozzles other than from Qidi.

Does anyone have a source for MK8 M7 nozzles? Thanks

To add a little more color, most of the MK8 nozzles have an M6 threaded stem. The MK8 M7 has an M7 threaded stem. The MK10 has an M7 stem, but the ID is larger to allow clearance for an internal PTFE tube

I ordered nozzles from Qidi via AliExpress for both low- and high-temp extruders. I was told that the low-temp extruder took MK8 M7 nozzles and the high-temp took MK10 M7 nozzles. In both cases, the ID on the incoming side is small and doesn't allow for insertion of a PTFE tube. I

was surprised when my order showed up and I was delivered MK10 M7 nozzles for the low-temp and MK8 M7 for the high-temp. The exact opposite. And, the MK10 M7 nozzles also had a PTFE tube installed into the end. WTF.

I contacted Qidi and they told me they had made a mistake. Both extruders should use MK10 M7 nozzles with a small opening (no PTFE tube). They're sending me new nozzles. At least they are trying to be helpful and always respond quickly.

I had been meaning to get some .6mm nozzles for my i-Fast and saw this thread and got worried I was going to need to get something unusual but they appear to be regular old MK8 m6x1s.
So the nozzle originally shipped with the printer were incorrect? Wonder if you got a hybrid "Qidi X-plus I"

Yeah, they told me the original nozzles were incorrect, however I don't yet trust that they know what's going on and so I still don't believe I know what's correct. Currently they're saying MK10 M7 for both extruders. Before they said MK8 M7 for low temp and MK10 M7 for high temp, which is how it arrived. What I do know is both extruders have M7 threads. The MK8 and MK10 nozzles have slightly different shapes where it threads into the hot-end. They're sending me another package of nozzles that should arrive on Wednesday, so it will be interesting to see what shows up this time.

The best hot end and nozzle parts are made by Micro-Swiss. I believe they have what you're looking for: https://store.micro-swiss.com/

Thank you! I'm familiar with that company and see that they might have a solution. I find it totally bizarre that these nozzles are more available. I thought nozzles were a commodity item.

What replacement nozzles did they end up sending you?
AFAIK my i-Fast has M6x1 MK8 nozzles all around.

MK10 M7 is what they sent me. I just looked on Amazon and there are cheap ones for sale, so I guess they are the commodity variety. I also see the Micro Swiss nozzles on MatterHackers.
