0.4 mm nozzles – the reliable standard
The 0.4 mm nozzle is the all-rounder in FDM printing: clean detail level, stable print profiles, and low clogging tendency. Ideal for functional and decorative parts made of PLA, PETG, or ASA – without major slicer adjustments.
Why 0.4 mm?
- Balanced: details vs. print time
- Wide material support (PLA, PETG, ASA, TPU*)
- High profile compatibility in common slicers
Recommended layer heights & usage
- Layer height: approx. 0.12–0.28 mm (fine ↔ fast)
- Use: precise parts, everyday prints, fine lettering/embossing
Compatibility & systems
- MK8 / V6 / Volcano
- Revo (corresponding Revo nozzles)
- Bambu (P1/A1/X1 – each matching system)
- Creality K-Series (matching K-system nozzles)
Nozzle material choice
- Brass: best heat conduction, standard filaments
- Hardened steel: for abrasive filaments (CF, fiberglass, glow)
- Coated copper/HF nozzles: high flow, higher temperatures
FAQ on 0.4 mm nozzles
What are the advantages of 0.4 mm?
Very good balance of detail and print time, broad material and profile support, little tuning needed.
Which layer height makes sense?
Depending on the requirement 0.12–0.28 mm; finer for details, larger for speed.
Which nozzle materials are suitable?
Brass for standard, hardened steel for abrasive, coated copper nozzles for high flow/temperatures.
What to watch for in compatibility?
On the nozzle thread or system (e.g., MK8, V6, Volcano, Revo, Bambu, Creality K-Series) and the correct installation length.
