0.25 mm Steel 3D Printer Extruder Nozzle

The 0.25 mm Extruder Nozzle is made from high-quality stainless steel and manufactured according to E3D-V5 and E3D-V6 standards (full metal J-head). This Steel Extruder Nozzle is specifically designed for abrasive filaments and is ideal for precision 3D printing.

Nozzle diameter is one of the most important factors when choosing a 3D Printer Nozzle, as it directly affects print resolution. A larger Extruder Nozzle diameter increases layer thickness, which reduces print detail but significantly speeds up the printing process.

There are two main types of steel nozzles: hardened and stainless. Compared to brass nozzles, Steel Extruder Nozzles offer better durability and are more suitable for abrasive materials. This makes them compatible with a wider range of filaments that would otherwise wear out standard nozzles quickly.

In addition, stainless 3D Printer Nozzles offer another key advantage: they can be used for printing with medically graded or food-safe materials. However, it’s important to note that only a few filaments on the market are truly certified as food- or medical-safe.

While steel nozzles are far more resistant to wear than brass, they have a slight drawback — lower thermal conductivity. In most cases, this does not pose a major issue unless a very large Extruder Nozzle is used.
