E3D V6 ObXidian nozzle

ObXidian: E3D's latest abrasive nozzle 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 specifically designed for printing with fiber-filled polymers and offers excellent performance.

Technical data 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 simply 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. In addition, the E3DLC™ coating also offers a non-stick property that significantly reduces the buildup of plastic around the nozzle.

User instructions

It's important to note that the use of abrasive materials with nozzles with a diameter of less than 0.4 mm is not recommended. This limitation ensures optimal performance and longevity of the nozzle.

E3D's ObXidian nozzle represents a significant advancement for anyone working with fiber-filled polymers. With its superior abrasion resistance, high-temperature endurance, and ease of use, it's the ideal choice for demanding 3D printing projects.
