Description
Slice Engineering GammaMaster Nozzles – 0.4mm
The GammaMaster® Nozzle is the next evolution in nozzle technology, forged from the latest advancements in metallurgy and surface preparation technology. For too long, you have had to settle for poor thermal performance when printing with abrasive filaments, but GammaMaster is the best of both worlds. It’s the first RepRap nozzle designed for abrasive filament printing that doesn’t sacrifice thermal conductivity.
Thermal Performance
Crafted from a proprietary hardened alloy, the GammaMaster Nozzle features thermal performance similar to that of a standard brass nozzle while maintaining its abrasive-resistant qualities. GammaMaster is 2.7 times more thermally conductive when compared to hardened steel nozzles, meaning you no longer have to raise your nozzle temperature to print with abrasive filaments.
Abrasion Resistant
With a Limited Lifetime Warranty against abrasive wear, the GammaMaster Nozzle will print the entire gamut of thermoplastic materials. From basic PLA to glass fiber reinforced PEI, the GammaMaster Nozzle excels at printing abrasive filaments with a Rockwell C hardness level of 63.
Anti-Adhesive Surface
GammaMaster features our new Low Gamma™ coating that reduces the surface energy of the nozzle and prevents the accumulation of plastic around the nozzle’s tip. With a measured surface energy of <30 dynes/cm, the Low Gamma coating allows for easier cleanup, fewer failed prints, and a better printing experience. Unlike PTFE-based coatings, GammaMaster’s surface is rated to high printing temperatures*, allowing you to reap the non-stick benefits with virtually any material.
Multiple Geometries
Available in both RepRap and AP3X™ geometries, the GammaMaster Nozzle is suitable for any hotend that uses standard M6 x 1.0 threads. Our RepRap geometry is the default nozzle geometry you’re probably used to, ideal for traditional, 3-axis FDM printing. Our AP3X geometry comes to a point with an added 2 mm of tip length, making this geometry ideal for belt printing and non-planar printing applications.
