E3D High Flow ObXidian® 500 Nozzle for Prusa Nextruder™
Elevate your 3D printing performance with the E3D High Flow ObXidian® 500 Nozzle designed specifically for Prusa Nextruder™ systems — delivering superior flow rates, rugged durability, and consistent extrusion even with abrasive or composite filaments. Perfect for users who want to push their Prusa setup to the next level without compromising reliability or print quality.
Why Choose the High Flow ObXidian® 500 Nozzle for Prusa Nextruder™?
- High volumetric flow: Internally optimized melt-zone geometry enables increased heat transfer and smoother filament melt, delivering substantially higher volumetric flow than standard nozzles — ideal for faster printing and thicker layers.
- Exceptional wear resistance: Constructed from hardened ObXidian® 500 with a protective coating and low-adhesion finish, offering excellent abrasion resistance and prolonged nozzle life when printing abrasive or fiber-filled materials like carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, metal-filled, or glow-in-the-dark.
- Cleaner extrusion & less maintenance: The coated, non-stick nozzle surface reduces plastic build-up, minimizing stringing, oozing, clogging, and the risk of nozzle jams — even during long or high-speed print runs.
- High-temperature capable: Rated to withstand elevated temperatures (depending on printer/enclosure setup), enabling printing with more advanced and engineering-grade filaments.
- Direct compatibility with Prusa Nextruder™: Designed as a drop-in nozzle replacement for the Nextruder™ system — no extra modifications or calibration changes required, making for a hassle-free upgrade.
Technical Specifications
- Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
- Nozzle sizes available: 0.40 mm, 0.60 mm (depending on selected variant)
- Nozzle material: Hardened ObXidian® 500 with low-adhesion wear-resistant coating
- Internal design: High-flow melt-zone geometry for improved heat transfer and molten filament throughput
- Hotend compatibility: Prusa Nextruder™ system (drop-in replacement)
Best Use Cases
- High-speed printing of standard filaments (PLA, PETG, ABS) where increased flow and throughput reduce print times and maintain extrusion consistency.
- Printing abrasive or composite materials — carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, metal-filled or glow-in-the-dark — where nozzle wear is a concern.
- Long print runs and large models requiring consistent flow, minimal maintenance, and extended nozzle lifetime.
- Users wanting a simple, plug-and-play upgrade for their Prusa Nextruder™ system to unlock higher performance without hardware changes.
Whether you’re printing fast prototypes, large-scale prints, or abrasive composites — the E3D High Flow ObXidian® 500 Nozzle for Prusa Nextruder™ ensures more durable, high-throughput and dependable extrusion. Upgrade today for smoother, faster prints with reduced maintenance.
