Quick Swap Nozzle Design
The special design of hotend heating assembly enables easy separation of the thermal and electronic components of the hotend. In addition, the magnetic block installed on the hotend heatsink enables quick and accurate fixation of the hotend to its precise mounting position. This feature enhances the convenience of quick swapping, allowing for easy removal and installation of the hotend.
*Please ensure that the hotend has cooled down before swapping, and avoid touching the heat block (lower section of the hotend) to prevent any risk of burns.
Highlights of Various Nozzle Diameters
0.2mm Nozzle Optimal Print Fineness Extremely
small layer gaps More detailed on the vertical print surface
Smaller diameter extrudes thin filaments High resolution on the horizontal print surface
0.4 mm vs 0.6 mm vs 0.8 mm Nozzle
Larger diameter extrudes more filaments per second, resulting in faster print speed
Comaprison of Different Nozzle
The 0.4mm nozzle is widely recognized as the standard nozzle diameter for modern 3D printers due to its optimal balance between print quality and print speed. This nozzle size is utilized in Bambu Lab A1 Series 3D printers.

【Precaution】
1. Filaments with carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal, or other inorganic particles are prone to clog a 0.2 mm nozzle.
2. For filaments containing carbon fiber or glass fiber, it is highly recommended to use a hardened steel 0.6 mm nozzle to minimize the risk of clogging and abrasion.
3. Bambu PLA-CF and Bambu PETG-CF have been extensively tested and proven to have a low risk of clogging when printed with a hardened steel 0.4 mm nozzle, while also achieving higher print quality.
