Push your printing boundaries into advanced, high-temperature engineering polymers with the Genuine E3D V6 Plated Copper Nozzle. Engineered by E3D as a premium thermal upgrade for the legendary V6 hotend family, these nozzles replace standard brass to unlock incredible heat transfer rates and exceptional high-temperature stability.
By pairing a highly conductive copper alloy substrate with a slick, defensive nickel-plated shell, this nozzle is built to sustain demanding production environments where extreme heat makes traditional silicone socks unusable.
Elite Thermal Conductivity & 500°C Limit
Standard brass nozzles begin to lose structural integrity and soften at extreme temperatures, and steel variants suffer from poor heat propagation. E3D's copper formulation delivers the perfect high-temperature solution:
3x the Thermal Transfer: Copper alloy provides nearly three times the thermal conductivity of brass. This rapid heat transfer ensures highly uniform melting behavior within the internal chamber, reducing flow bottlenecks during high-speed movements.
500°C Max Operating Temperature: Rated for grueling workflows up to 500°C. This makes it fully capable of handling advanced engineering materials like PEEK, PEI (Ultem), and PPSU that destroy standard parts.
Premium Nickel Plating: Encased in a hard nickel coat that completely stops high-temperature copper oxidation. Furthermore, the ultra-smooth surface properties minimize sticky plastic accumulation (such as PETG), keeping your nozzle tip pristine.
At-a-Glance Size Identification
E3D utilizes a precision dots identification matrix stamped directly onto the flat hexagonal faces of the nozzle. Quickly confirm your setup size without ever needing to use calipers:
0 Dots: 0.25mm orifice width
1 Dot: 0.30mm orifice width
2 Dots: 0.35mm orifice width
3 Dots: 0.40mm orifice width
6 Dots: 0.50mm orifice width
4 Dots: 0.60mm orifice width
5 Dots: 0.80mm orifice width
Important Installation Considerations
Heater Block Exclusions: This nozzle uses the standard M6 x 0.75mm V6 threading specification. It is **not** compatible with extended melt-zone configurations like the Volcano, SuperVolcano, or Cyclops heater blocks.
Abrasive Limitations: Plated copper is optimized exclusively for high-temperature, non-abrasive printing. If you frequently run carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, or glow-in-the-dark filaments, we highly recommend selecting E3D ObXidian or Nozzle X components instead.
