Description
0.2mm Nozzle – Optimal Print Fineness
Smaller diameter extrudes thin filaments
High resolution on the horizontal print surface
Comparison of Different Nozzle Sizes
| 0.2 mm Nozzle | 0.4 mm Nozzle | 0.6 mm Nozzle | 0.8 mm Nozzle | |
| Usage scenario | Perfect for small and intricate models, with precision that’s worth the wait | Ideal for everyday use with the perfect balance of speed and qualty | Faster speeds and capable of printing high-performance filaments, with some decrease in resolution | Faster speeds and capable of printing high-performance filaments, with some decrease in resolution |
| Commonly used for | Miniature models Intricate logos Text Molds | Toys Mechanical parts Decorative objects | Large structural parts Functional parts for household Industrial or engineering parts High-strength models | Large structural parts Functional parts for household Industrial or engineering parts High-strength models |
*The final display of ‘Model Strength’ & ‘Model Fineness’ depend on the results of the material testing.

[*Note]
*① Filaments with carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal, or other inorganic particles are prone to clog a 0.2 mm nozzle.
*② Bambu PLA-CF and Bambu PETG-CF have been extensively tested and proven to have a low risk of clogging when printed with a hardened steel 0.4 mm nozzle, while also achieving higher print quality.
*③ For general carbon fiber or glass fiber filaments such as Bambu PAHT-CF and PET-CF, it is recommended to use a hardened steel 0.6 mm nozzle to minimize the risk of clogging and abrasion.
