The high wear resistance of our tungsten carbide nozzles will ensure that even the most abrasive filament can be printed with confidence.
The high thermal conductivity of tungsten carbide means you can print faster.
Tungsten carbide will not soften at high temperatures like hardened steel, resulting in a longer lasting nozzle. Print up to 500c with high abrasion resistance!
Our tungsten carbide nozzle is a single piece, single material nozzle, meaning thermal conductivity and optimized flow is maintained through the entire nozzle, unlike multi material tungsten carbide tipped nozzles.
Tungsten carbide nozzles are less expensive to manufacture than ruby or sapphire tipped nozzles and maintain better flow and temperature stability at the nozzle tip.
Most importantly, our tungsten carbide nozzle is available NOW! No preorders.
| Tungsten Carbide | Ruby | A2 Hardened Steel | Stainless Steel 410HT | Copper | Brass | |
| Thermal Conductivity - W/(m·K) | 110 | 40 | 26 | 12-45 | 385 | 109 |
| Hardness - HRC | 85 (9 on Mohs scale) | (9 on Mohs scale) | 65 | 43 | 33 | 30 |
Please tighten the nozzle to 3Nm when heated above your required printing temperature (300c for most plastics will be adequate).

Don't waste your money
Something is off with this nozzle. It clogs pretty much no matter what filament I use. Normal PLA I had to increase nozzle temp 20C AND change nozzle size to .3mm in order to get a print without clogging. Carbon fiber PETG? Not happening. I have to run it ridiculously hot to get it to even extrude and then it still clogs. There is no way this nozzle is .4mm For what I paid for this I'm extremely disappointed.

It's a good nozzle.
I've own a ruby, and I've destroyed a ruby (crashed my bed into it). This is a one piece nozzle that retains good temps and can deal with abrasive fibres. I purchased the 0.6mm and its good. I can still print at 0.12 layer heights, or I can print at 0.48 layer heights... Perfect.

Disappointed
I'm very disappointed in the 0.4 mm version of this nozzle. I switched out a standard brass nozzle on my Ender 3 in order to print with abrasive filament, expecting it to be an easy swap. But I had immediate and severe under-extrusion problems even with regular PLA. These problems could only be partly remedied by a combination of both dramatically increased temperature (+30°C) and low speeds (<40 mm/sec). I thought that maybe there was something amiss with my hotend after the nozzle switch, so I used this as an excuse to buy a Microswiss all metal hotend, that I installed first with this nozzle. I had the exact same under-extrusion problems. Switching in the coated brass nozzle that came with the Microswiss kit instantly solved all my problems, and I was back to printing at full speed using reasonable temperatures immediately. Perhaps I got a dud. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Either way, this nozzle has been a big waste of time, money and filament. If I had the chance for a do-over, I would just buy a hardened steel nozzle and live with the well-known temperature differences.
