A stainless steel drop-in replacement nozzle for E3D V6-style hotends, machined with a 0.5mm tip and an M6 thread for 1.75mm filament. 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 200–230°C 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
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 — 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 300°C, 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.
