Just a reminder - Keep in mind that if you decide to use any filled filaments like CF, Wood, some Marble, etc the .6 nozzle is recommended to prevent clogs.
A CHT doesn’t help as it still has a .4 to squeeze through, besides you can now change nozzles easily!
I don’t know if Bondtech added this recently; their CHT MOS Brass M6 nozzles lists “Bambulab X1 (aftermarket hotend)” as compatible. No change to their Bimetal hotend description though. The nozzle geometry differs but I think they are both the same height.
This looks like it will flow faster than cht clone. Why is it anyone selling a ready made kit for this? Im not a maker just a printer. Hacking is not my thing, I cant even understand how to hook this up.
Yes, I saw that too @mol.olsson when looking for a hardened CHT nozzle, but was unsure of length so held back. Thanks for the update on length @s.3, and my aftermarket clone has just landed via AliExpress this morning. I might try and pull out the copper core from the brass nozzles I got too, and see if I can use a carbide drill and fit the copper core in the hardened one.
No, the nozzle does not wear out (any meaningful amount) on the inside, it does wear out on the tip of the nozzle and slowly gets grinded off. Hardened materials can slow down that process by a lot, but will wear out eventually too.
