Is there a diamond nozzle that is compatible with the X1C?
I want to print Glow stuff, but… that was mucho bad on my brass nozzled printer…
The hardened steel nozzle that ships with the X1C should be able to handle glow filament.
Bambu actually sells Glow PLA and recommends using the hardened Steel nozzle.

The stock nozzle the printer is shipped with is hardened steel. That isn’t diamond but should be far far better than brass. So I wouldn’t worry too much.
Anyway I haven’t heard of diamond nozzles yet, only ruby. Are you sure such a thing exists?
They sure exist. They are called “diamondback nozzles”, I even found one for Bambulab Printers:

DiamondBack is brand name. I don’t believe they are actual diamond nozzles.
I stand corrected! They are stacked carbon and technically diamond.
Indeed, never heard of those before. Do I understand correctly, that those are just covered with micro diamonds, similar to a diamond sharpening stone?
I wouldn’t want to pay the price as every nozzle is a consumable that might clog at some time, especially with those reinforced filaments. But if they work as advertised, that might be worth it for some.
They also make a revo hotend for bambu and theres a diamondback revo nozzle. All for only $350 lol. Dont bend it
The x-obsidian high flow should handle that if you want a nozzle upgrade. I’ve been using one for a couple of months withe only 1 clog (yesterday) with plain old PETG of all things.
Just get a hardened.
Print glow every now and again, it works fine.
(do wish I could justify a diamondback though)
