What this wear-resistant nozzle does

The Micro Swiss Plated Wear Resistant Nozzle is a RepRap-style M6 nozzle for 1.75 mm filament that improves durability when printing abrasive materials. The 0.2 mm nozzle is made from a 360 brass base material and plated with TwinClad XT coating for low friction and better wear resistance.

Key features of the Micro Swiss RepRap nozzle

• RepRap-style nozzle format: Built in a standard RepRap-style design with M6 thread.
• For 1.75 mm filament: Intended for printers and hotends that use 1.75 mm material.
• 0.2 mm nozzle size: Suitable for users who need a fine nozzle diameter.
• 360 brass base material: Uses brass as the core nozzle material.
• TwinClad XT plating: The nickel composite coating is designed for very low friction.
• Low coefficient of friction: The coating offers one of the lowest coefficients of friction, better than nickel with PTFE co-deposit.
• Hard, abrasion-resistant surface: The plated finish helps the nozzle resist wear from abrasive filaments.
• Made in USA: Manufactured in the USA by Micro Swiss.

Why TwinClad XT coating matters for abrasive filament

TwinClad XT is engineered to reduce friction while adding hardness to the nozzle surface. That combination helps the Micro Swiss nozzle last longer in applications where standard brass nozzles can wear more quickly.

Use cases for carbon fibre, wood-filled, and metal-filled filament

This plated nozzle is intended for users printing abrasive materials such as carbon fibre, stainless steel, wood-filled, and other metal-filled filaments. In those applications, the wear-resistant coating greatly improves nozzle life compared with an unprotected nozzle.
