What this wear resistant nozzle is for

The Micro Swiss Plated Wear Resistant Nozzle is a RepRap-style M6 nozzle for 1.75mm filament with a 0.25 mm opening. It is built to provide longer service life when printing abrasive filled materials that wear standard nozzles more quickly.

This Micro Swiss nozzle uses a 360 brass base material plated with TwinClad XT coating. The result is a nozzle surface designed for very low friction while also adding hardness and abrasion resistance.

Key features of the Micro Swiss RepRap nozzle

• 360 brass base material: retains the familiar material foundation used in RepRap-style nozzles.
• TwinClad XT coating: a nickel composite coating designed for very low friction.
• Low coefficient of friction: described as better than nickel with PTFE co-deposit.
• Hard, abrasion-resistant surface: helps reduce wear from more demanding filament blends.
• 0.25 mm nozzle diameter: suited to fine-detail printing where a smaller nozzle opening is required.

When to use a plated wear resistant nozzle

This plated nozzle is intended for users working with abrasive materials such as Carbon Fibre, Stainless Steel, wood filled, or other metal filled filaments. In these applications, the abrasion-resistant coating can greatly improve nozzle life compared with a standard uncoated nozzle.

The 0.25 mm nozzle size also suits prints where finer extrusion detail matters, while the low-friction coating supports smooth material flow through the nozzle path.
