Bambu Lab Complete Hotend Assembly - X1E

Are you in Australia looking to purchase a Bambu Labs X1E Complete Hotend Assembly with a Hardened Steel Nozzle? This assembly is specially designed for Bambu Lab X1E Series 3D Printers. It includes a Hotend with a Hardened Steel Nozzle, a Ceramic Heater, a Thermistor, a Silicone Sock for the Hotend, and a Cooling Fan. Note that the 0.2 nozzle is made of stainless steel. Different nozzle diameters offer unique benefits. The 0.2mm nozzle provides optimal print fineness with extremely small layer gaps and high resolution on both vertical and horizontal print surfaces. The 0.6mm and 0.8mm nozzles ensure faster print speeds as they extrude more filaments per second. The 0.4mm nozzle is the standard choice for modern 3D printers, offering an ideal balance between print quality and speed, and is used in both Bambu Lab X1 and P1 Series printers. Regarding filament compatibility, while most common filaments work well with various nozzle sizes, filaments with carbon fiber, glass fiber, metal, or other inorganic particles are likely to clog the 0.2mm nozzle. For carbon or glass fiber - containing filaments, a hardened steel 0.6mm nozzle is highly recommended to reduce clogging and abrasion risks. Bambu PLA - CF and Bambu PETG - CF have low clogging risks when printed with a hardened steel 0.4mm nozzle and can achieve high - quality prints. You can swap the nozzle by replacing the Hotend with Nozzle on the original assembly or the whole Complete Hotend Assembly. The package includes a Complete Hotend Assembly for the X1E Series and 2 M3 - 14 Step Screws. This product is compatible with X1E only. Product specifications: Max. Printing Temp. is 320 ℃, length is 47.3 mm, packaging weight is 40 g, and packaging size is 190*70*50 mm. Learn more about filament compatibility and hotend replacement on Bambu Lab Wiki.

Using this Bambu Lab X1E Complete Hotend Assembly is easy. First, make sure your 3D printer is the X1E model as it's only compatible with this one. When choosing a filament, refer to the filament compatibility chart. For normal filaments like General PLA, you have multiple nozzle size options. But if you're using filaments with carbon or glass fiber, it's best to go for a hardened steel 0.6mm nozzle to avoid clogs. When you need to change the nozzle, you can either replace the hotend with the nozzle on the existing assembly or swap the whole assembly. Be careful when handling the hotend as it gets very hot during operation. After each use, let the hotend cool down completely before storing it. To maintain it, keep it clean and free from filament residue. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the nozzle and other parts.
