Choosing the right 3D printer nozzle for your needs and preferences
The first thing to know is that there are three main factors to consider when shopping for 3D printer nozzles – size, material and inner diameter. The bigger the nozzle, the higher the extrusion speed, and smaller inner diameters are good for printing thinner layers and walls.
As for materials, brass nozzles are generally the most affordable option but they tend to deteriorate at a faster rate than other materials. Depending on your specific 3D printing requirements, it might be worth investing in nozzles that are made with more durable materials. However, if you’re printing with abrasive materials such as carbon fibre or metal-filled filaments, brass nozzles are a better option.
By taking the time to research the different kinds of 3D printer nozzles and their unique strengths, you can drastically improve your 3D printing projects and hone your own skills as a 3D printing pro!
