Stainless vs hardened nozzle

Got this nozzle.
Would this be a stainless or hardened version?

That is a hardened steel nozzle.

Great… got it together with the new P1S… I thought it had only stainless nozzle… saves me from buying and replacing

You can also check the Bambu store. I tried to paste the product link and screenshots, but the forum won’t allow me to.

In the picture it does look like the hardened steel nozzle but the P1S is supposed to come with stainless steel. Here’s a side by side (hardened on the left)…

I have noticed in some lights the grey looks more black than grey.

The one attached to one of my P1S printers looks black in the machine, but, on closer inspection, it is more grey.



Some of these are very obvious, others less so. Although it might be my failing eyesight. The bottom picture is the most clear.

The spare replacement nozzles supplied with the P1S printer are grey with decent light. I have bought all hardened steel ones to replace them, I just need to build up the courage to swap the first one out and then do the others.

I suspect I will need help though as the tremors are bad and the gears also need to come out.

Will you be able to check if it’s stainless or hardened steel with the use of a magnet? The hardened steel will be magnetic, stainless not so?

Just look at it. Grey vs black. If you haven’t changed it and have P1 then it’s stainless, same for A1 series. I believe the X1 comes with hardened.

The black tip is magnetic, grey is not.

Agreed.

I just purchased a hardened steel nozzle for my A1 mini. Anyone know why it came with 2 small screws?

Anyone notice any difference between stainless and hardened in PLA/PETG?
