E3D V6 ObXidian Nozzle

ObXidian: The Latest Abrasive Nozzle from E3D for Fiber-Filled Polymers

In the field of 3D printing, advances in material technology are crucial. E3D has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of the ObXidian nozzle. This nozzle is specially designed for printing with fiber-filled polymers and offers excellent performance.

Technical Specifications of the ObXidian Nozzle

Main features

The ObXidian nozzle stands out due to its unique design. Unlike other abrasion-resistant nozzles, it features a copper alloy that offers similar thermal performance to brass. This means it can be used as a direct replacement for conventional brass nozzles. Users only need to use the same slicer profiles as for their brass nozzles.

Advanced Material Technology

The combination of a tool steel insert and the special E3DLC™ coating enables exceptional abrasion resistance. This nozzle is several orders of magnitude harder than the Nozzle X and other common hardened steel nozzles. Additionally, the E3DLC™ coating also provides a non-stick property that significantly reduces plastic buildup around the nozzle.

User Notes

It is important to note that using abrasive materials with nozzles smaller than 0.4 mm in diameter is not recommended. This restriction ensures optimal performance and longevity of the nozzle.

The ObXidian nozzle from E3D represents a significant advancement for anyone working with fiber-filled polymers. With its superior abrasion resistance, high temperature tolerance, and user-friendliness, it is the ideal choice for demanding 3D printing projects.
