BCN3D Hotend M (For Metal Printing)
The BCN3D Hotend M has been meticulously engineered to seamlessly integrate with the Epsilon series of 3D printers, enabling effortless 3D printing with metal filaments like BASF's Ultrafuse 316L and 17-4 PH.
- Crafted from Tool Steel Alloy for Unparalleled Toughness
- Expands the Horizon of Metal Industrial Applications
- Retains Strength Even in High-Temperature Environments
- Simple Installation on Epsilon W27 and W50 Models
The metal filaments are highly abrasive so if they were printed through a brass standard hotend, they will wear away quickly. To solve this issue we have designed the hotend M, a hotend with a hardened steel nozzle. This article provides all the information you need to know about this device.
Why must I print with the hotend M?
To understand why using this hotend is necessary during the printing of metal material we must talk about the hardness.
What makes the hotend M special?
The hotend M nozzle is composed of hardened steel with a nickel cover and a "Polyphobic"nano-coating, which makes the hotend harder and reduces the friction between the filament and the nozzle.
- Less material accumulation, from sticky and fiber material at the end of the nozzle.
- A more reliable first layer; the slippery coating tends to drag the material specifically in corners where the layers can detach.
- Solid and flat top layers, with a shiny finish as a result of the soft placement of material.
- Easier nozzle cleaning, the small amount of material that sticks to it can be cleaned easily with a piece of paper leaving a very clean nozzle.
In addition, the hotend M has an intern covering that allows that the filament slides without any problems.
