Glossary of 3D Printing Terms

Extruder Nozzle The extruder nozzle is the component at the tip of the 3D printer’s hot end that shapes and deposits melted filament onto the build surface. Nozzles come in various diameters, typically ranging from 0.2mm to 1.0mm, with smaller diameters allowing for greater detail and larger diameters facilitating faster prints. Nozzles are made from materials like brass, stainless steel, or hardened steel, with each material offering different durability and compatibility with specific filaments. Over time, nozzles can wear out or clog, particularly when using abrasive filaments, making regular cleaning and replacement necessary to maintain print quality. |
