    3D Printer Nozzles

    Image of Product. Front orientation. 3D Printer Nozzles. 3D Printer Nozzles.
    Extrude melted filament onto print surfaces to build 3D printed parts. These nozzles work with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Screw them into your printer’s heating end to install.
    When choosing a nozzle, make sure the trade name is compatible with your printer and heating end. You should also consider the nozzle’s material and opening diameter, which will affect the quality of your part.
    Brass Tip—Brass-tipped nozzles are the most common nozzles used for nonabrasive filaments such as ABS, PLA, and nylon. Since they transfer heat quickly, they produce clean prints and are unlikely to clog. However, brass is soft, so it will wear out quickly when used with abrasive materials.
    Nickel-Plated Copper Tip—Copper-tipped nozzles transfer heat better than brass-tipped nozzles, making them best for PEEK, Ultem PEI, and other materials that require high heat to print. Nickel-plated nozzles have a slippery surface, which creates less friction, so filaments flow smoothly. The slippery surface also prevents plastic from sticking to the nozzle.
    Opening Diameter—For opening diameter, consider whether you need precision or speed. The smaller the nozzle opening, the smoother the finish and the finer the detail, making these nozzles best for small and intricate parts. The larger the nozzle opening, the faster they print and less likely they are to clog, which is good for abrasive materials and large, strong parts. The most common opening to balance precision and speed is 0.4 mm.

    Often used when printing with carbon-fiber- and glass-filled filaments, these nozzles resist wear from abrasive materials, so they last longer than standard nozzles. They are compatible with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Screw them into your printer’s heating end to install.
    When choosing a nozzle, make sure the trade name is compatible with your printer and heating end. You should also consider the nozzle’s material and opening diameter, which will affect the quality of your part.
    Hardened Steel Tip—Hardened steel nozzles resist wear 10 times better than brass nozzles. However, they don’t transfer heat well, so they require higher printing temperatures.
    Opening Diameter—For opening diameter, consider whether you need precision or speed. The smaller the nozzle opening, the smoother the finish and the finer the detail, making these nozzles best for small and intricate parts. The larger the nozzle opening, the faster they print and less likely they are to clog, which is good for abrasive materials and large, strong parts. The most common opening to balance precision and speed is 0.4 mm.

    High-Flow 3D Printer Nozzles

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. 3D Printer Nozzles. High-Flow 3D Printer Nozzles.
    Print up to 60% faster with better layer bonding than standard nozzles. These nozzles have a split core through the body that makes more contact with the filament to melt it quicker than nozzles with a single hole through the body. The tip is brass, which is the most common material used for nonabrasive filaments such as ABS, PLA, and nylon. Brass transfers heat quickly, so these nozzles produce clean prints and are unlikely to clog. However, brass is soft, so it will wear out quickly when used with abrasive materials. A nickel plating makes their surface slippery, creating less friction so filaments flow smoothly and help prevent plastic from sticking to the nozzle.
    They work with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Screw them into your printer’s heating end to install.
