0.2 mm nozzles – for finest details
With the 0.2 mm nozzle you achieve maximum detail fidelity, sharp edges, and very fine structures. Ideal for miniatures, delicate textures, lettering, and fitting surfaces – with deliberately longer print times and a cleanly calibrated setup.
Why 0.2 mm?
- Very high precision on small features
- Clean edges & fine engravings/text
- Reduces over-extrusion on micro-details
Recommended layer heights & usage
- Layer height: approx. 0.08–0.16 mm (fine ↔ moderate)
- Use: miniatures, precision housings, fits, finely structured surfaces
Note: Lower print speed and careful flow/E-steps calibration improve repeatability.
Compatibility & systems
- MK8 / V6 / Volcano (observe correct installation length)
- Revo – suitable fine nozzle variants
- Bambu P1/A1/X1 – suitable system nozzles
- Creality K series – matching K system nozzles
Nozzle material choice
- Brass: very good heat conduction, ideal for standard filaments
- Hardened steel: for abrasive filaments (CF/glass/glow)
- Coated nozzles: help against adhesion at low flows
FAQ about 0.2 mm nozzles
For which projects is 0.2 mm especially worthwhile?
For models with very fine structures, miniatures, precise fits, and clearly readable micro-details.
Which layer height is recommended?
Typically 0.08–0.16 mm. Smaller layers increase detail fidelity but also increase print time.
What problems occur frequently?
Under-extrusion at too high speed, clogging due to particles. Solution: print slower, keep filament clean, regularly clean nozzles.
Do I need special profiles?
Yes. Low speeds/accelerations, adjusted extrusion width (approx. 100–120%), careful flow, and if necessary, higher nozzle temperature at the lower tolerance range.
