These nozzles have hardened steel inside or even certain stones like rubies for extreme abrasive resistance. So they’re good to use if you plan to use high feed rates because it will heat up better than brass. Copper NozzlesĬopper nozzles, like these that I bought for my Ender 3 pro on Amazon, are excellent at transferring heat to the material quickly.

These are more expensive than brass because they’re harder to machine and the material itself is more expensive. Stainless steel, like these on Amazon, nozzles are used when printing with chemically abrasive materials or to meet health and safety standards when printing for the food industry. A brass nozzle can print massive amounts of PLA without wearing down, but if you’re looking to print other materials like glo and carbon, here are some other nozzle materials that you’ll require: Stainless Steel Brass conducts heat very well for its price and can print almost any non-abrasive material. Most printer nozzles are made of brass because it’s relatively easy to machine and is durable enough to last a long time.
