Reliable Volcano Brass PTFE Nozzles for 1.75mm filament, cleaner extrusion, reduced filament buildup, and general-purpose 3D printing with compatible Volcano-style hotends.
$10.99
Volcano Brass PTFE Nozzles are designed for compatible Volcano-style 3D printer hotends using 1.75mm filament. These nozzles combine brass construction with a PTFE-coated outer surface to help reduce filament sticking, buildup, and surface blobs during printing. They are a practical upgrade or replacement option for users who want cleaner extrusion behaviour with common non-abrasive filament materials.
Your current dnb3D product page lists these nozzles in four size options: 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm. This gives builders and printer owners flexibility when choosing between fine-detail printing, everyday general-purpose printing, and larger nozzle sizes for stronger parts or faster output.
The PTFE-coated exterior helps reduce the tendency for molten filament to stick to the nozzle surface. This can help limit messy buildup around the nozzle tip and reduce the chance of filament blobs being dragged across the print. It does not replace proper bed leveling, temperature tuning, retraction settings, or nozzle maintenance, but it can make routine printing cleaner when used correctly.
These Volcano Brass PTFE Nozzles are made for compatible Volcano-style hotends using 1.75mm filament. Volcano-style nozzles are commonly used when higher melt flow, larger layer heights, or faster material output are desired compared with shorter V6-style nozzle formats. Always confirm your hotend type, filament diameter, thread compatibility, and nozzle length before installation.
The 0.2mm option is useful for finer detail, smaller features, and slower precision printing. The 0.4mm size is a common general-purpose choice. The 0.6mm and 0.8mm sizes can help increase flow and reduce print time for larger functional parts, brackets, prototypes, jigs, and draft prints. Larger nozzles may require slicer changes such as line width, layer height, flow rate, speed, and temperature adjustments.
Brass nozzles are best suited for non-abrasive filaments such as PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, and similar everyday materials. For abrasive filaments such as carbon fiber-filled, glow-in-the-dark, metal-filled, glass-filled, or heavily filled composites, use a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle instead. Abrasive materials can wear brass nozzles and change the nozzle opening over time.
These nozzles are useful for general 3D printer maintenance, printer upgrades, replacement nozzle stock, prototype printing, draft parts, functional brackets, and larger prints where flow consistency matters. Keeping multiple nozzle sizes on hand can help you quickly switch between fine detail, everyday printing, and higher-output parts.

Volcano-style nozzles are designed for higher-flow printing applications where larger melt zones, larger nozzle sizes, and increased material output are useful. For compatibility, dimensions, hot tightening, and nozzle care information, see the E3D Volcano nozzle technical reference.

Before installing Volcano Brass PTFE Nozzles, confirm that your printer uses a compatible Volcano-style hotend for 1.75mm filament. Check hotend type, thread compatibility, nozzle length, heater block style, and filament diameter before installation.
Start the nozzle by hand whenever possible. If the nozzle does not thread in smoothly, stop and check alignment. Cross-threading can damage the brass nozzle, heater block, or hotend assembly.
Many hotends require the nozzle to be tightened at printing temperature so the nozzle seals correctly against the heat break. Follow your printer or hotend manufacturer’s procedure. Use controlled torque and avoid over-tightening, as brass is softer than steel and can be damaged by excessive force.
The PTFE-coated exterior helps reduce filament sticking, but it should be handled carefully. Avoid scraping the nozzle with sharp tools, steel brushes, pliers, or abrasive pads. Damaging the coating can reduce the non-stick benefit and make the nozzle easier to contaminate.
Brass PTFE nozzles are best suited for PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, and similar non-abrasive filaments. Avoid using them with abrasive materials such as carbon fiber-filled, glow-in-the-dark, metal-filled, glass-filled, or heavily filled composites. Abrasive filaments can wear the brass nozzle opening and reduce print quality.
When switching between 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzle sizes, update your slicer settings. Check nozzle diameter, line width, layer height, flow rate, speed, temperature, and retraction settings. A larger Volcano nozzle may also require higher flow tuning depending on material and printer capability.
Keep the nozzle tip free from burnt filament, debris, and residue. Use appropriate cleaning methods for your filament and printer. Do not scrape aggressively, as brass and PTFE-coated surfaces can be scratched or damaged.
If prints show inconsistent extrusion, poor surface finish, under-extrusion, blobs, stringing, or dimensional issues after tuning, inspect the nozzle for wear, coating damage, or clogging. Replacing a worn nozzle is often faster and more reliable than trying to recover a badly damaged one.
