What this wear-resistant RepRap nozzle does

The Micro Swiss Plated Wear Resistant Nozzle is a RepRap-style M6 nozzle for 1.75 mm filament that helps extend nozzle life when printing abrasive materials. It combines a 360 brass base with TwinClad XT plating to provide low friction, hardness, and improved resistance to wear.

Key features of the TwinClad XT plated nozzle

• 360 brass base material: Uses a brass body for standard nozzle performance and heat transfer.
• TwinClad XT coating: Adds a nickel composite surface engineered for very low friction.
• Lower friction surface: The coating offers one of the lowest coefficients of friction, better than nickel with PTFE co-deposit.
• Hard and abrasion-resistant finish: The plated surface is designed to handle wear more effectively than a standard uncoated nozzle.
• Made by Micro Swiss in the USA: Manufactured in the United States.

When to use a plated wear-resistant 0.8 mm nozzle

This 0.8 mm nozzle is suited to users printing with abrasive filaments that can quickly wear standard brass nozzles. The wear-resistant coating is especially relevant for carbon fibre, stainless steel, wood-filled, and other metal-filled filaments.

For makers and print operators running specialty composites, the plated Micro Swiss nozzle helps maintain usable service life in applications where abrasion is the main concern.
