Nozzle DiamondBack for 3D Printers - MK8

The DiamondBack MK8 nozzle, made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD), is designed to offer exceptional performance in 3D printing, providing precise and durable results with any type of filament. Developed by ChampionX, this nozzle has been created to tackle the most demanding challenges in the world of 3D printing, making it one of the most reliable and high-performance options on the market.

Thanks to its solid diamond tip, the DiamondBack MK8 nozzle significantly improves layer adhesion and printing accuracy while also reducing clogging and facilitating cleaning. This ensures a smoother and uninterrupted printing experience, ideal for those looking to avoid frequent blockages and achieve high-quality 3D prints.

The DiamondBack MK8 nozzle is highly versatile, allowing printing with a wide range of filaments such as PLA, ABS, carbon fiber, copper PLA, and iron. Its innovative polycrystalline diamond (PCD) technology enables users to work with various materials without needing to change the nozzle, increasing printing efficiency and reducing downtime.

Additionally, its high thermal conductivity ensures optimal heat transfer from the hotend to the filament, improving printing accuracy and reducing the operating temperature. This not only extends the nozzle’s lifespan but also enhances 3D print quality and minimizes nozzle wear.
