Hotend Induction 0.4mm Hardened Steel, Bambu Lab H2C

0.4mm Hardened Steel Induction Hotend – Bambu Lab H2C

The 0.4mm hardened steel induction hotend is designed for users seeking a robust and versatile solution on their Vortek system. Thanks to its induction technology, it provides precise thermal responsiveness and stable filament control, even during long prints or with challenging materials.

The 0.4mm nozzle represents an excellent compromise between detail finesse and flow capacity, making it a very versatile choice for most projects. Using hardened steel offers a decisive advantage: high abrasion resistance, essential for printing filled filaments such as carbon fiber, glass, or metallic materials.

Despite its robustness, the hotend maintains consistent and clean extrusion, producing smooth surfaces on PLA, PETG, nylon, and technical compounds. For industrial prints or functional parts, it provides significantly higher durability than a standard brass or stainless steel nozzle.

Usage Tips

• For abrasive materials (carbon, glass, metal), favor moderate speeds to maintain stable flow and minimize filament wear, or use 0.6mm or larger diameters.
• Regularly check nozzle cleanliness: hardened steel is durable, but composites generate more residue.
• For standard materials, slightly increase extrusion temperature: hardened steel has lower thermal conductivity than brass nozzles.
• Ensure proper leveling: a 0.4mm nozzle tolerates more variation than 0.2mm, but precise adjustment further improves consistency.

With its combination of mechanical strength, versatility, and full ecosystem compatibility, this hotend is a safe choice for demanding users who alternate between standard and composite materials without compromising quality or durability.
