Bondtech VOL CHT Coated Brass Nozzle 0.40mm

The primary benefit is significantly increased hotend melting capacity, allowing for faster print speeds and improved volumetric flow rates. This enables quicker project completion and the ability to print robust parts with excellent layer adhesion, especially useful for demanding engineering filaments.

This nozzle is ideally suited for abrasive or fiber-loaded filaments such as carbon fiber reinforced PA, glass fiber reinforced PETG, or metal-filled composites. Its hardened steel inserts provide exceptional wear resistance, while the copper body ensures optimal thermal conductivity for various filament types.

The nickel coating serves multiple purposes: it enhances protection against corrosion, reduces wear from abrasive filaments, and provides a smoother surface for reduced friction during extrusion. This combination contributes to the nozzle's extended lifespan and consistent printing performance across different materials.

This nozzle features a RepRap M6 thread, making it compatible with many hotends that utilize this standard. It is optimized for 1.75mm filament but can also be used with 2.85mm filament setups. Users should verify their hotend's thread type before purchasing to ensure proper fitment.

Regular maintenance typically involves ensuring the nozzle is clean and free of material buildup, especially when switching filament types. The hardened steel inserts minimize wear, reducing the frequency of replacement compared to standard brass nozzles when printing abrasive materials. Installation requires a 6mm wrench.
