13 best 3d printer heads

3D printer heads, often referred to as extruders or printheads, are critical components of 3D printers. They play a central role in the additive manufacturing process by depositing material, typically filament or resin, layer by layer to create three-dimensional objects. Here is some essential information about 3D printer heads:

  1. Function: The primary function of a 3D printer head is to precisely melt or dispense the chosen printing material onto the print bed or previous layers, following the instructions from the 3D printing software. This controlled deposition of material is what builds up the final 3D printed object.

  2. Types:

    • Single Extruder: Many 3D printers come with a single extruder, which can print with one type or color of filament at a time.
    • Dual Extruder: Some printers have dual extruders, allowing you to print with two different materials or colors simultaneously. This is useful for multi-material or multi-color prints.
    • Direct Drive vs.Bowden: Extruders can be classified as either direct drive or Bowden. Direct drive extruders are located closer to the print head and are directly responsible for feeding the filament. Bowden extruders are located farther away from the print head and use a tube to guide the filament to the nozzle.
  3. Hotend: The hotend is the part of the extruder responsible for heating and melting the filament. It consists of a heater cartridge and a temperature sensor, usually a thermistor or thermocouple. The temperature is precisely controlled to ensure the material flows smoothly.

  4. Nozzle: The nozzle is the tip of the extruder through which the melted material is extruded onto the print bed. Nozzles come in various sizes, with smaller nozzles producing finer details but slower prints and larger nozzles enabling faster but less detailed prints.

  5. Heating Element: A heating element, often a cartridge heater, heats the hotend to the required temperature for melting the filament. The temperature settings vary depending on the type of filament being used.

  6. Cooling: Some extruders have built-in cooling systems, such as fans, to rapidly cool the material after extrusion. This helps in achieving better print quality, especially for materials like PLA.

  7. Material Compatibility: Different extruders are designed for specific materials. For example, some are optimized for PLA, while others are suitable for ABS, PETG, or more exotic filaments like flexible or composite materials.

  8. Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep the extruder functioning correctly. This includes cleaning the nozzle, ensuring the filament path is clear, and checking for any wear and tear on components.

  9. Upgrades: Many 3D printer enthusiasts and professionals opt to upgrade their printer heads to achieve better performance or compatibility with specific materials. Upgrades may include swapping out nozzles, hotends, or even the entire extruder assembly.

Understanding the type and capabilities of your 3D printer head is crucial for achieving successful 3D prints. It allows you to select the right materials, settings, and configurations to produce high-quality objects for your specific application.

User questions & answers

Question: Will these work with an Anycubic i3 Mega
Answer: I would recommend to the glass. Heat plate has the possibility to warp after time.
Question: Will this nozzle head work on a flash forge finder 3d printer? i am looking for a larger nozzle tip such as .6mm instead of the standard .4mm
Answer: I’ve been using this for PLA prints for a few months now. Still on my first sheet. About 100 prints. I wipe it with alcohol before EVERY print. So far only 2 fails due to poor adhesion. Turned out to be filament issues. About to change to 2nd sheet just because I’ve nicked it a few times with my putty knife knocking parts off.
Question: The top part of the page says "copper", the detail says at least twice "brass". Which is it
Answer: what was the material you applied to the bed before starting your 3D print? If using PLA or ABS/PVC you should only use hair spray or my favorite, glue stick - both are water soluble. You can try, in this order, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, acetone. Be very careful with the acetone as it is highly reactive and can melt your build surface if it is plastic or ? and not aluminum.
Question: Will these fit in a Duplicator i3 clone
Answer: 0.67mm. that's building plate + adhesive

User questions & answers

Question: Do these fit an Ender 5 Plus
Answer: They should. They fit my Ender 5.
Question: How often does one go through these nozzles? How can I tell if I need replacement
Answer: I’ve been on the first nozzle of the set for about 3-4 months now. Keep bed level so it doesn’t drag across bed, avoid abrasive filaments and they’ll last for quite some time. Also I use an Oiler on my filament to help prevent clogs. I’m about to change this one out but only to use the smaller nozzle for higher detailed mini prints.
Question: Do these work with cr-10s pro
Answer: No I do not think so. I use these on my CR10S. I have a CR10Max and it has the same extruder as the Pro. The thread size is different between the Pro/Max to the CR10. I almost cross threaded mine before I realized.
Question: Does this product work on the Ender

User questions & answers

Question: Will this work on an Anycubic Kossel (Delta
Answer: I think so. Looking at the Hictop printer vs ours, they are very similar. We (ie, my son) did have to do a bit of re-engineering to make the new extruder fit, but nothing major. It is working fine. Hope this helps. (Side note: the new print nozzles has improved our print quality.)
Question: Is it all metal
Answer: Yes. it can.
Question: Will this work on a Chiron
Answer: Mine fit. You’re gonna need to splice the wires together though. Or I did at least
Question: Will this work on anycubic x
Answer: Mine was a 100K ATC (#5 in Marlin) -- I know the description says "NTC" but that's wrong. -- If that setting doesn't work on your printer (or it comes on screaming and beeping) check the resistance manually using a voltmeter -- the problem I had was that mine came crimped in and the leads were shorted out to the metal. -- Adding some kapton tape to prevent the shorting should fix the issue.

3D Printer Accessories V6 J-Head Hotend RepRap Extruder for 1.75mm Filament, Direct Feed or Bowden. w/ 0.4mm Nozzle, 12V Fan, and 3ft PTFE Bowden Tube

ALPTA

Based on 29 reviews Check latest price

Product description

This hot end is a replica of the newest, popular V6 hotend, this not only allows you to print extremely high temperature materials like PP/ Polycarbonate and Nylons but also eliminates typical hotend meltdown failures associated with other types of hotends. The latest hotend has a PTFE liner that slides inside the the upper portion of the heat brake, to help prevent misalignment of the filament, which is never subjected to high temperatures so there is no risk of damaging the liner through overheating.

For Marlin firmware, under THERMAL SETTINGS -> #define TEMP_SENSOR_X (X being your extruder #) you should use # 11: 100k beta 3950 1% thermistor (4.7k pullup)

User questions & answers

Question: How large of a nozzle can be added successfully on this? I would like to go up to 1.2mm but am unsure if a volcano mod is necessary
Answer: Well, the thread length for the V2 is 6.5mm. So, the threads fit, but, these are sized for the E3D which is over 7mm long so you'd have some extra length and lose some Z space.
Question: I messed up the ptfe quick connect going into the hotend, is that quick connect removable
Answer: This is just a 5 of the nozzles pictured. There is no heater block or other hot end components. It should fit the CR-10 max, they should work in all E3D clones.
Question: Will this work for the monoprice mini (v2)? i bought an e3d v6 clone that kept clogging on me and need to upgrade
Answer: No. Sunlu S8 uses MK8 nozzles
Question: Does this part come with the older style glass thermistor or the newer design larger metal thermistor
Answer: The threaded part is a little longer than the minis but will still work.
