0.2 mm Steel 3D Printer Extruder Nozzle

The 0.2 mm Extruder Nozzle is made from high-quality stainless steel and manufactured according to E3D-V5 and E3D-V6 standards, featuring a full metal J-head design.

Nozzle diameter is a critical factor when selecting a 3D Printer Extruder Nozzle because it directly affects print resolution. Larger diameters increase layer thickness, which lowers detail but speeds up the printing process.

There are two main types of steel nozzles: hardened and stainless. Compared to brass, Steel Extruder Nozzles offer greater durability and are especially suited for abrasive filaments, allowing for a wider variety of materials.

Additionally, stainless steel nozzles can be used for printing medical-grade and food-safe products, although few filaments are certified for such applications.

While Steel Extruder Nozzles are far more wear-resistant than brass ones, they have a drawback: lower thermal conductivity. This usually isn’t a major issue unless a very large Extruder Nozzle diameter is used.
