Hardened Steel Nozzle

A hardened steel nozzle is a 3D printer component designed to withstand abrasive materials. It is made from steel that has been heat-treated to increase its hardness, making it ideal for printing with filaments that contain carbon fiber, metal, or glow-in-the-dark particles.

Lifespan: The expected lifespan of a hardened steel nozzle is significantly longer than that of a standard brass nozzle, especially when used with abrasive materials. It can last for hundreds of printing hours depending on the material used.
