Hardened steel nozzles are good utility nozzles, suitable for abrasive filaments such as wood fills, glitter fills and metal fills. Even glow-in-the-dark filaments will abrade brass so our Hardened Steel nozzles are a great, lower-cost option when you can’t stretch to a Nozzle X. Rated to a maximum temperature of 500°C. Please note this nozzle is not suitable for printing abrasive filaments at temperatures above 350°C.

Overview

Durable hardened steel nozzles for your Volcano HotEnd add-on. 3D printing with abrasives such as carbon fiber, glow-in-the-dark PLA or even filled filaments such as Woodfill all take their toll on brass nozzles. E3D’s Hardened Steel nozzles will resist wear and last a lifetime. Requires a HotEnd modified with a Volcano. Compatible with the Lulzbot Moarstruder.

Description

Super fast printing nozzles for use with the Volcano block and packs to print large layer heights and at extremely high flow rates.
Paying a little extra for a hardened, wear-resistant nozzle makes both practical and economic sense. By the time you’ve printed a single spool of abrasive filament you’re saving money. It also saves a lot of time as you won’t be constantly replacing worn out nozzles. Furthermore you’ll be future-proofed for upcoming materials, as E3D is sure that these nozzles

Hardened abrasion-resistant nozzles developed to last a lifetime. 3D printing with abrasives such as carbon fiber, glow-in-the-dark PLA or even filled filaments like woodfill all take their toll on a standard nozzle, where hardened steel will last and last. These nozzles are fully integrated into the E3D Ecosystem and will fit V6, Lite6, and Titan Aero HotEnds, and are compatible with Prusa 3D printers. E3D nozzle sizes are easily identifiable by dots drilled onto their hex flats.

Paying a little extra for a hardened, wear-resistant nozzle makes both practical and economic sense. By the time you’ve printed a single spool of abrasive filament you’re saving money. It also saves a lot of time as you won’t be constantly replacing worn out nozzles. And you’ll be future-proofed for upcoming materials; E3D is sure that these nozzles should be able to handle just about anything that material manufacturers think of next.
Because of the thermal and chemical treatment applied to the nozzle they do have a bit of a dark, sometimes uneven looking coloration and surface finish, and there can be a small amount of residue on the nozzles despite our final cleaning process. The coloration variance is normal and doesn’t affect function. Any residue left on the nozzle will quickly be flushed in the first few millimetres of extrusion, especially if you flush it out with an abrasive filled material!

All nozzles in the series are now individually identifiable with markings on the flats of the hex head making them even more convenient to work with. See table for identification.
