What this nozzle is for

This Micro Swiss plated wear resistant nozzle is a Volcano hotend compatible high flow nozzle for 1.75 mm filament, built to improve durability when printing with abrasive materials. The 0.25 mm orifice supports fine extrusion while the hardened plated construction helps extend nozzle life compared with standard brass nozzles in demanding applications.

Key features of the Micro Swiss plated nozzle

• 360 brass base material: Uses a brass base for thermal performance in a Volcano-compatible nozzle format.
• TwinClad XT coating: Features a nickel composite coating designed for very low friction.
• Low-friction surface: The coating offers one of the lowest coefficients of friction, better than nickel with PTFE codeposit.
• Wear-resistant construction: The TwinClad XT surface is very hard and abrasion-resistant.
• 0.25 mm orifice: Provides a fine nozzle size option for detailed printing.
• Made in USA: Manufactured by Micro Swiss in the USA.

Why use a wear-resistant Volcano-compatible nozzle

A plated nozzle is useful when standard nozzles wear quickly from abrasive compounds in specialty filaments. The hard, low-friction TwinClad XT coating is designed to reduce wear and improve service life in those printing conditions.

Best uses for abrasive and filled filaments

This Volcano-compatible nozzle is well suited to users working with abrasive carbon fibre, stainless steel, wood-filled, and other metal-filled filaments. In those use cases, the wear-resistant coating can greatly improve the life of the nozzle.

Where a 0.25 mm nozzle makes sense

The 0.25 mm version is appropriate when a smaller orifice is needed for finer extrusion paths while still using a Volcano-compatible hotend setup. It fits makers and advanced users who want a more wear-resistant small-diameter nozzle for specialty 1.75 mm materials.
