Unleash the maximum throughput and high-temperature performance of your machine with the premium ZS Creality K1 / K1 Max High-Flow Nozzle. Specifically optimized for fast coreXY printing on the Creality K1 series, this hybrid-material nozzle blends elite thermal output with industrial-grade abrasion resistance. Whether you are running standard utility filaments at speed or printing high-temp abrasive composites, this drop-in upgrade has you covered.
By pairing a highly conductive plated copper body with a specialized hardened steel core insert, this nozzle eliminates thermal flow bottlenecks while withstanding extreme wear.
Advanced Bi-Metal Construction
Standard brass and fully hardened steel nozzles struggle to balance thermal performance with mechanical hardness. The ZS hybrid nozzle solves this compromise through an innovative dual-material architecture:
Plated Copper Alloy Body: Boasts nearly 3x the thermal conductivity of standard brass. The rapid heat transfer allows you to melt filament much more efficiently, enabling lower printing temperatures at normal speeds or massive flow-rate increases at high speeds.
Hardened Tool Steel Tip with DLC Coating: The nozzle orifice is armed with an ultra-hard tool steel insert shielded by a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. It resists the punishing abrasive action of carbon fiber, glass fiber, glow-in-the-dark particles, and glitter-filled materials without losing dimensional accuracy.
Nickel Plating: The copper exterior is treated with a premium nickel plating that resists oxidation at extreme temperatures and creates a non-stick surface to prevent molten filament buildup at the tip.
Engineered for High-Speed, High-Temperature Printing
Built to easily keep pace with the high-velocity motion system of your Creality K1 or K1 Max:
Tested Flow-Rate Boost: The superior thermal performance drastically improves volumetric melt efficiency, delivering cleaner layers and preventing extrusion slipping at high feed rates.
500°C Temperature Rating: Rated for temperatures up to 500°C, meaning it will easily handle advanced, engineering-grade polymers that would degrade lesser components.
Polished Internal Bore: Features a mirror-smooth inner wall finish that minimizes friction and pressure buildup, actively reducing the risk of mid-print clogs.
Nozzle Size Identification
To make maintenance simple, each nozzle has its size easily identifiable via clear markings stamped onto the flats of the hex head:
0.4mm Nozzle: Marked with 3 dots (or notches) on the hex flats.
0.6mm Nozzle: Marked with 4 dots (or notches) on the hex flats.
0.8mm Nozzle: Marked with 5 dots (or notches) on the hex flats.
