Highlights of Various Nozzle Diameters

0.2mm Nozzle

Optimal Print Fineness

Extremely small layer gaps

More detailed on the vertical print surface

0.2mm Nozzle

Optimal Print Fineness

Smaller diameter extrudes thin filaments

High resolution on the horizontal print surface

0.6mm and 0.8mm Nozzle

Faster Print Speed

Larger diameter extrudes more filaments per second, resulting in faster print speed

The 0.4mm nozzle is widely recognized as the standard nozzle diameter for modern 3D printers due to its optimal balance between print quality and print speed. This nozzle size is utilized in both the Bambu Lab X1 Series and P1 Series 3D printers.

[*Note]

  1. Filaments with carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal, or other inorganic particles are prone to clog a 0.2 mm nozzle.
  2. For filaments containing carbon fiber or glass fiber, it is highly recommended to use a hardened steel 0.6 mm nozzle to minimize the risk of clogging and abrasion.
  3. Bambu PLA-CF and Bambu PETG-CF have been extensively tested and proven to have a low risk of clogging when printed with a hardened steel 0.4 mm nozzle, while also achieving higher print quality.
