A stainless steel drop-in replacement nozzle for E3D V6-style hotends, with an M6 thread for 1.75mm filament. Pick your tip: 0.5mm for a strong all-round balance of speed and quality, 0.8mm for faster, stronger prints, or 1.0mm for high-flow, large-format work. Stainless steel is food-safe and corrosion resistant, making it the natural pick for food-contact prints and everyday printing where you want better durability than brass without stepping up to fully hardened steel. Fits straight in, no modifications needed.

Great for
Changing your nozzle
- Heat the hotend
Bring it up to around 200 to 230C so any filament in the nozzle is soft.
- Hold the heater block
Grip the block with a spanner or pliers so it can't twist, then unscrew the old nozzle.
- Fit the stainless nozzle
Screw the new nozzle in while the hotend is still hot.
- Snug against the heatbreak
Tighten it firmly against the heatbreak, not the heater block, to prevent leaks.
Common questions
Which tip size should I choose?
0.5mm is a strong all-round size with a great balance of detail and speed for everyday printing. 0.8mm steps up the flow for faster, stronger prints while keeping reasonable detail. 1.0mm has the widest bore and pushes the most plastic, so it is ideal for high-speed, large-format and structural prints with thick layers. More sizes are on the way.
Will this fit my Ender 3 or CR-10?
Only if it has been upgraded to an E3D V6-style hotend. Stock Ender 3 and CR-10 printers use an MK8 nozzle, not a V6, so for those see our MK8 nozzles instead.
Stainless steel or brass, which should I choose?
Brass heats fastest and is best for general use. Stainless steel is food-safe, corrosion resistant, and wears more slowly, but has lower thermal conductivity, so you may need to print a few degrees hotter than you would with brass.
Is it good for abrasive filaments?
It holds up better than brass, but for heavily abrasive filaments (carbon fibre, glow-in-the-dark, metal- or wood-fill) a hardened steel nozzle is the right choice.
What temperature can it handle?
Rated to around 300C, which covers PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU and most common higher-temp filaments.
What thread does it use?
Standard M6 (RepRap / E3D V6 M6×1), a direct fit for V6-style hotends with no modification.
