PTFE-coated brass nozzle with M6 thread suitable for printing 1.75 mm filament.

The nozzle is the part of the print head (extruder) that determines how detailed your print will be. Using a nozzle with a smaller orifice will achieve finer prints, but it also significantly increases overall print time. The most commonly used nozzle diameter is 0.4 mm.

A brass nozzle has excellent thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties, making it suitable for most types of thermoplastic materials (ABS, PLA, ASA, PET, PC, Nylon, ...). Only when using highly abrasive materials (plastic with metal fiber additives, glitter, metal-filled materials, etc.) do we recommend using a steel nozzle.

After screwing the nozzle onto the hotend, we recommend heating the print head to operating temperature (approximately 230 °C) and tightening the nozzle while hot to prevent leaks.

The nozzle is suitable, for example, for Elegant3D Printer 2, Prusa i3, and all other printers that have an M6 thread for the nozzle.
