Bambu Lab Hotend with 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle - X1 series

Bambu Lab Hotend with 0.6mm Nozzle (Hardened Steel) for X1 Series

This original Bambu Lab hotend with an integrated 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle is an important component for all users of X1 series 3D printers (X1, X1 Carbon) who want to optimise speed and material compatibility. Thanks to the specific "all-in-one" design of the nozzle assembly, where the nozzle is firmly connected to the heater block and heatbreak, efficient heat transfer is ensured and the risk of filament leakage is minimised.

The 0.6 mm nozzle diameter is a suitable choice for printing bulkier parts with required mechanical resistance or where the priority is to reduce printing time. Additionally, the hardened steel guarantees a longer lifespan even with regular use of abrasive filaments, such as composites with carbon or glass fibres, which would wear out standard brass nozzles more quickly.

Key Features

0.6mm Hardened Steel Nozzle – Performance and Durability

• Faster Printing: The larger nozzle diameter allows for a higher filament flow rate, leading to a reduction in printing time for large models without a significant loss of surface quality on less detailed objects.
• Suitable for Abrasive Materials: Hardened steel (55-60 HRC) is resistant to wear, making it a good choice for printing with filaments containing carbon fibres (CF), glass fibres (GF), or other abrasive particles.
• Stronger Prints: Wider extruded lines can contribute to better layer adhesion and overall higher mechanical resistance of printed parts.

Optimised "All-in-One" Nozzle Assembly Design

• Efficient and Stable Heating: The integrated design of the nozzle and heater block ensures efficient heat transfer for consistent extrusion.
• Minimised Leakage and Clogging: The precise connection of components in the nozzle assembly reduces the risk of molten filament leakage and heatbreak clogging, especially with more demanding materials.
• Easier Maintenance and Replacement

Wide Material Compatibility

• Abrasive and Technical Filaments: PA-CF, PET-CF, PLA-CF, PETG-CF, and other composite materials.
• Standard Filaments: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PC, TPU (considering the larger nozzle diameter for TPU).
