E3D Brass Volcano Nozzle for 1.75mm Filament, 0.40mm

The E3D Brass Volcano Nozzle features an extended melt zone and optimized internal geometry, significantly increasing filament melt speeds and flow rates. This enables much faster printing, larger layer heights, and stronger prints compared to standard nozzles. It's ideal for high-throughput applications.

No, this E3D Brass Volcano Nozzle is specifically designed for the E3D Volcano HotEnd system, not standard V6 HotEnds. It requires the Volcano block due to its longer heated melt zone and M6 thread. Ensure your hotend configuration matches the Volcano specifications for proper function.

Brass nozzles are excellent for common non-abrasive filaments like PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, and TPU. For abrasive materials such as carbon fiber-filled or glow-in-the-dark filaments, hardened steel or sapphire nozzles are recommended to prevent premature wear and maintain nozzle integrity over time.

A 0.40mm nozzle offers a good balance between detail and speed. While larger diameters print faster, they reduce fine detail. This 0.40mm Volcano nozzle, combined with the Volcano HotEnd's high flow, allows for faster printing than a standard 0.40mm nozzle, maintaining decent detail.

Regular cleaning is essential. Periodically clean the nozzle interior to remove carbonized filament using a brass brush or cold pull method. Avoid using metal tools that could scratch the bore. Replace the nozzle if you notice significant wear, blockages that can't be cleared, or a decline in print quality.
