When paired with the BCN3D Epsilon 3D printer, it enables printing with fiber-reinforced materials, allowing you to create stiffer parts for the most demanding jobs. This hotend is extremely durable, yet retains its hardness even at high temperatures without softening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe Hotend X is only compatible with the Epsilon W50 and Epsilon W27.

These materials are much more abrasive, literally acting like metal files when extruded through the nozzle. As you'll see, you don't need to print many meters of these filaments to start causing irreparable damage to your brass hotends.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter ls-is-cached lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/support.bcn3d.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Knowledge%20base\/Materials\/General\/BrassHardComparison-2_large%20(2).jpg?width=676\u0026amp;name=BrassHardComparison-2_large%20(2).jpg\" alt=\"BrassHardComparison-2_large (2)\" data-src=\"https:\/\/support.bcn3d.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Knowledge%20base\/Materials\/General\/BrassHardComparison-2_large%20(2).jpg?width=676\u0026amp;name=BrassHardComparison-2_large%20(2).jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThese photos were taken after printing just 250g of carbon fiber-filled filament using a brand new 0.4mm brass nozzle. You can compare the wear on the X hotend after printing 2.5kg of various carbon fiber-filled and glass fiber-filled materials, as shown in the \"right-side hotend\" image. Ten times the amount of material (250g) printed by the brass nozzle on the left.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe pictures are self-explanatory: the brass nozzle tip has worn away, shortening the overall length of the nozzle, which will undoubtedly cause calibration issues. The nozzle tip has also been rounded into a dome shape due to abrasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BCN3D","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56704706216280,"sku":null,"price":184.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/5963\/4492\/files\/BCN3D-Hotend-X.jpg?v=1773823963","url":"https:\/\/3digital.tech\/en-eu\/products\/bcn3d-hotend-x-0-6-mm","provider":"3Digital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
