What this nozzle is for

The Micro Swiss Plated Wear Resistant Nozzle is a RepRap-style M6 nozzle for 1.75 mm filament that delivers a 0.4 mm extrusion opening and improved durability for abrasive materials. It uses a 360 brass base for standard thermal performance and a TwinClad XT surface treatment to reduce friction and resist wear.

Key features of the plated wear resistant nozzle

• RepRap-style nozzle format: Built in a common M6 threaded format used on many compatible hotends and printer setups.
• 360 brass base material: Uses 360 brass as the core nozzle material.
• TwinClad XT coating: Plated with a nickel composite coating designed for very low friction.
• Low coefficient of friction: TwinClad XT offers one of the lowest coefficients of friction, stated as better than nickel with PTFE co-deposit.
• Hard, abrasion-resistant surface: The coating is designed to stand up better to wear from abrasive filaments.
• Made by Micro Swiss in the USA: Manufactured in the USA.

Why the coating matters for abrasive filament

TwinClad XT combines low-friction performance with a hard exterior surface. That combination is useful when filament additives would normally wear down a standard nozzle more quickly.

For makers and operators printing abrasive materials regularly, the plated nozzle is intended to greatly improve nozzle life.

Use cases for carbon fibre, wood-filled, and metal-filled filament

This Micro Swiss nozzle is suited to printing with abrasive Carbon Fibre, Stainless Steel, wood filled, and other metal filled filaments. The wear-resistant coating helps the nozzle maintain service life better in applications where filled materials are harder on the nozzle surface.

That makes the nozzle a practical fit for users experimenting with specialty composites, functional prototypes, decorative prints with filled materials, and repeat jobs that involve abrasive filament blends.
