Nozzle Selection Guide
The nozzle is the final gate your filament passes through. Choosing the right one matters more than you think.
Nozzle Materials
- Brass: Best thermal conductivity, affordable. Replace every 2-3kg. NOT suitable for abrasive filaments.
- Hardened Steel: Wear-resistant, lasts 10x longer than brass. Slightly less conductive. Good for carbon fiber, glow-in-the-dark.
- Tungsten: Premium option. Excellent thermal conductivity + extreme wear resistance. Our ANTINSKY tungsten nozzles last 5x longer than hardened steel.
- Ruby/Plated: Very hard surface, expensive. For continuous abrasive printing.
Nozzle Sizes
- 0.2mm: Ultra-fine detail, very slow
- 0.4mm: Standard all-purpose (most common)
- 0.6mm: Good balance of speed and detail
- 0.8mm-1.0mm: Fast printing, functional parts, thick layers
When to Replace
- Inconsistent extrusion or under-extrusion
- Visible wear on the tip
- Scratched or damaged orifice
- After printing 2-3kg of standard filament
