A stainless steel drop-in nozzle for E3D Volcano-style hotends, with an M6 thread for 1.75mm filament. The Volcano's longer melt zone pushes far higher flow than a standard V6 nozzle, ideal for fast printing, thick layers and large-format parts. Stainless steel runs cleaner than brass, resists corrosion, contains no lead and holds up better to mildly abrasive and higher-temperature filaments. Available in 1.0mm and 1.2mm for maximum high-flow output. Fits straight in, no modifications needed.

Great for
Changing your nozzle
- Heat the hotend
Bring it up to around 200 to 240C so any filament in the nozzle is soft.
- Hold the heater block
Grip the block with a spanner or pliers so it cannot twist, then unscrew the old nozzle.
- Fit the Volcano 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
What is a Volcano nozzle?
A Volcano nozzle is longer than a standard V6 nozzle, giving it an extended melt zone. That means more filament is molten at once, so it can flow much faster. Volcano nozzles are the go-to for high-speed printing, large layer heights and big-format prints. It uses the same M6 thread as a V6 but is not interchangeable with a V6, it needs a Volcano heater block.
Stainless steel or brass?
Brass heats fastest and is the best value for everyday non-abrasive filaments. Stainless steel runs cleaner, is lead-free and copes better with higher-temperature and mildly abrasive filaments, though it heats a little slower. For heavily abrasive filaments, choose a hardened steel nozzle instead.
Will this fit my hotend?
It fits E3D Volcano-style hotends and compatible clones that use the Volcano nozzle format with an M6 thread. It will not fit a standard V6 or an MK8 hotend, those use different nozzle lengths.
Can I print abrasive filaments with it?
Stainless steel handles mildly abrasive filaments better than brass, but for heavily abrasive materials like carbon fibre, glass fibre or glow-in-the-dark, a hardened steel Volcano nozzle will last much longer.
What thread does it use?
Standard M6 (RepRap / E3D Volcano M6x1), a direct fit for Volcano-style hotends with no modification.
