What this wear resistant nozzle does
The Micro Swiss Plated Wear Resistant Nozzle is a RepRap-style M6 nozzle for 1.75 mm filament that improves durability when printing with abrasive materials. It combines a 360 brass base with TwinClad XT plating to provide low friction and better resistance to wear.
Key features of the Micro Swiss RepRap nozzle
- 360 brass base material: Maintains the familiar brass nozzle format while adding a plated wear layer.
- TwinClad XT coating: Uses a nickel composite coating designed for very low friction.
- Low coefficient of friction: The coating offers one of the lowest coefficients of friction, better than nickel with PTFE co-deposit.
- Hard and abrasion-resistant surface: The plated finish is designed to handle more demanding filament types with less nozzle wear.
- Made in USA: Manufactured by Micro Swiss in the USA.
Why use a plated nozzle for abrasive filaments
A wear resistant nozzle is useful when standard nozzles wear more quickly from filled materials. The TwinClad XT surface is both hard and abrasion-resistant, which helps extend nozzle life in demanding printing conditions.
Best uses for carbon fibre, stainless steel, wood-filled, and metal-filled filaments
This 0.6 mm RepRap nozzle is suited to users printing abrasive carbon fibre, stainless steel, wood-filled, and other metal-filled filaments. In those applications, the plated surface can greatly improve the life of the nozzle compared with an untreated alternative.
