Nozzle Tips and Tricks:

There is nothing worse in hotend maintenance and usage than snapping a nozzle inside your hotend. For that reason, we have decided to write up this doc, in order to give useful tips for best removal, best brands/materials, and highest performance.

Tungsten Carbide Nozzles

For those who print with abrasive filaments, tungsten carbide is a sure choice. Below we have listed trusted TC nozzles that should perform well with the Chube hotends, as well as any other hotend you may choose to use.

LL Tungsten Carbide Nozzle: these are pure TC nozzles, and are trusted for use with our hotends.

Undertaker Nozzle: these are pure TC nozzles, and we trust them to not snap while removing from your hotend, if you are using best practices.

NanoFlow Nozzle: a pure TC nozzle, with unique flow geometry. If you are following best nozzle removal practices, it should not snap upon removal from your hotend.

A3DP TC Nozzles: These are of good quality, and we have not had issue with them.

Dyze TC Nozzle: Work fine when installed, but have had some snap upon removal even with best practices applied. There can also be explosion issues.

Bozzle: Pure TC with special internal geometry. We can recommend these for use with Chube. There should not be Bozzle breakage issues with best nozzle removal and application rules in use.

Bondtech Nozzles:

CHT: We like the normal CHT nozzles for printing with ABS. You do need to be careful when placing and removing, they will snap in your hotend more easily than TC nozzles.

Bimetal CHT: We do not personally use bimetal CHT, because they are more likely to break inside of your heatblock than their brethren. We don’t recommend to use in an expensive hotend for that reason.

Slice Engineering Nozzles:

Gammamaster: We actually really love this nozzle. They are really well-made, and the coating is great as well. If you print with *some* abrasive filament, but not enough to convince you to invest in TC nozzles, this is a great choice for you.
