DiamondBack Nozzle for 3D Printers - Volcano

The DiamondBack nozzles, designed for 3D printers compatible with Volcano hotends, are an advanced solution for achieving precise, durable, and high-quality 3D prints. Equipped with a polycrystalline solid diamond (PCD) tip, these nozzles provide excellent thermal conductivity, facilitating efficient heat transfer, improving layer adhesion, and ensuring more detailed and consistent prints.

Additionally, DiamondBack nozzles are compatible with standard filaments such as PLA and ABS, as well as more demanding materials, including filaments with carbon fiber and copper PLA, without the need to change the nozzle. Developed by ChampionX, they offer a unique combination of precision, durability, and versatility.

Diamond Nozzles for 3D Printing: Precision and High Thermal Conductivity

The DiamondBack Volcano nozzle stands out for having a solid diamond tip instead of just a diamond coating. This material, known as the hardest in the world, not only ensures greater precision in 3D printing but also excellent thermal conductivity, allowing heat to transfer efficiently from the hotend to the filament.

Thanks to this advanced technology, 3D printers achieve better layer adhesion and uniform extrusion, ensuring sharper and more detailed prints. Diamond nozzles enable high-quality printing, even with the most demanding materials.

Versatility of the DiamondBack Volcano Nozzle: Compatible with All Filaments

The DiamondBack Volcano nozzles for 3D printers are compatible with a wide range of filaments, including PLA, ABS, filaments with carbon fiber, and copper PLA. This versatility eliminates the need to constantly change the nozzle, saving time and improving efficiency.

Additionally, the ability to work with abrasive filaments without rapid wear makes it a durable and cost-effective solution for advanced 3D printing projects.

Extreme Durability: Long-Lasting DiamondBack Nozzles

Thanks to their construction with polycrystalline diamond (PCD), DiamondBack nozzles not only offer greater wear resistance but also have a significantly longer lifespan compared to other 3D printer nozzles, such as those made of tungsten carbide.

PCD extends the lifespan of the nozzles by 2 to 8 times, making them a cost-effective investment in the long run. Additionally, their design allows for easy cleaning, reducing the frequency of clogs and ensuring smooth printing.
