Genuine E3D HotEnds (v6, lite6, Chimera and Kraken) use the same standard nozzle format that can be easily changed out in order to tune the printing speed and resolution to best fit your needs. In our latest v6 nozzles, the range of nozzle diameters each have tailored internal and external geometry to match the flow rates and track width associated with each size. Whether you need to crank out massive parts in a hurry, or print with the finest resolution and detail we’ve got you covered..
Bringing together community feedback and our extensive testing, we have redesigned our nozzles from the ground up.
The new internal geometry of v6 Nozzles is optimised to reduce back-pressure, this ensures smooth,easy flow of filament whilst improving the effectiveness of retractions. The bottom flat surface of the nozzle which flattens down the layer is custom to each nozzle size, for small nozzles a small nozzle tip gives you high precision. On the larger nozzles, a nozzle tip assists in the smooth printing of larger layers.
All nozzles in the series are now individually identifiable with markings on the flats of the hex head making them even more convenient to work with. See the table below for more information on what these markings mean:
| # Marks | Nozzle Size |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0.15mm |
| 0 | 0.25mm |
| 1 | 0.30mm |
| 2 | 0.35mm |
| 3 | 0.40mm |
| 6* | 0.50mm |
| 4 | 0.60mm |
| 5 | 0.80mm |
Compatibility
- v6 Nozzles are backwards compatible, so can be used to upgrade your v5 HotEnd.
- If you are using a v6 HeatBreak it is recommended that you use a v6 Nozzle.
