E3D E3D Volcano Hotend Fully Assembled - 1.75mm Direct (12v)
The E3D v6 hotend has become a standard in desktop 3D printing, but for users who need to 3D print incredibly fast and super strong with nozzles up to 1.2mm in diameter, the Volcano hotend is a great choice. A bigger melt zone supplies filament to the nozzle quickly and with a wide array of upgrade parts available, this hotend can evolve along with your needs in 3D printing.

Print at higher speeds with confidence thanks to the enlarged melt zone of the Volcano hotend
3D Printing is an exciting technology because of the ability to produce one-off testing and evaluation components but higher strength materials can also be used for the final manufacturing of production-quality parts. The primary job of a 3D printer hotend is to raise the temperature of loaded filament up to the proper extrusion temperature before it reaches the nozzle. When printing speed is increased, the time a given amount of material has in the hotend is decreased, which can lead to improper heating, under extrusion, and even clogs. The E3D Volcano hotend solves this issue by utilizing an enlarged melt zone to give filament the proper amount of time to be heated before printing.

Take advantage of large nozzles up to 1.2mm and print incredibly strong parts
Why: 3D printing can be a great pathway to creating functional prototypes for fit testing but with precision machine control, the production of end-use parts is possible with engineering-grade materials. From PLA to NylonG, the wider extrusion path from a 0.8mm or larger nozzle creates incredibly strong inter-layer adhesion. This increased strength exists throughout an entire part, from the perimeters to the infill and removes design constraints that smaller nozzles may suffer from. Even with standard materials like PLA and PETG, utilizing a large nozzle up to 1.2mm is the ticket to higher strength printing.
