Upgrade your Creality K2 Series printer with a high-flow Phaetus Silicon Carbide Nozzle engineered for abrasive materials, high-speed printing and extended service life. The integrated quick-swap assembly supports flow rates up to 30 mm³/s and printing speeds up to 600 mm/s
The Phaetus Silicon Carbide Nozzle – K2 Series combines a wear-resistant silicon carbide nozzle tip with Phaetus EndCoat™ technology to provide durable, consistent extrusion for everyday and abrasive 3D printing filaments.
Compared with a standard hardened-steel nozzle, Phaetus states that the silicon carbide design can provide up to seven times the service life. It is suitable for frequent printing with carbon fibre, glass fibre, metal-filled, wood-filled and glow-in-the-dark materials that can quickly wear conventional brass nozzles.
The extended heating chamber supports a maximum flow rate of 30 mm³/s and printing speeds up to 600 mm/s, helping maintain reliable extrusion during high-speed printing.
Silicon Carbide Wear Resistance
Silicon carbide provides excellent resistance to abrasive filament additives. The nozzle is paired with an EndCoat™-treated heat break to provide additional wear protection throughout the filament path.
This makes it a strong choice for:
- Carbon-fibre-reinforced filament
- Glass-fibre-reinforced filament
- Wood-filled filament
- Steel- and metal-filled materials
- Tungsten-filled filament
- Glow-in-the-dark and phosphorescent filament
- Standard PLA, PETG, ABS and TPU
Phaetus specifically lists compatibility with both standard thermoplastics and abrasive composite materials.
High-Flow, High-Speed Printing
The enlarged heating zone helps melt filament consistently during rapid extrusion.
Manufacturer-rated performance:
- Maximum flow rate: 30 mm³/s
- Maximum printing speed: 600 mm/s
- Available nozzle diameters: 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm
These ratings are maximum manufacturer specifications; practical flow will vary with filament type, temperature, layer height and printer configuration.
Integrated Quick-Swap Design
The nozzle and heat-break components form an integrated all-metal assembly designed for faster installation and removal. The precision-machined connections help reduce the risk of molten-filament leakage commonly associated with threaded nozzle and heat-break joints.
Smooth Filament Flow
Phaetus specifies an internal surface roughness below Ra 0.4. The smooth internal filament path and burr-free nozzle opening are designed to promote consistent material flow and reduce extrusion instability.
