Description
The Bambu Lab hotend features a unique all-in-one design that combines the heatsink, throat, heater block, and nozzle into a single unit. With this design, Bambu Lab hotends can heat up much faster than traditional hotends and avoid the risk of filament oozing or leaking at the nozzle and heat break interface.
Bambu Lab offers hotends in two configurations: a single hotend with nozzle and a complete hotend assembly. The complete hotend assembly includes: [1] hotend with nozzle, [2] a cooling fan, [3] a ceramic heater & thermistor, [4] a silicone sock. It comes pre-assembled and ready to use in your Bambu Lab 3D printer. If you need to swap your nozzle, you can either replace the hotend with nozzle on your original complete hotend assembly or replace the whole complete hotend assembly
Highlights of Various Nozzle Diameters
Note:
- Filaments with carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal, or other inorganic particles are prone to clog a 0.2 mm nozzle.
- 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.
- 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.
