Description
E3D Volcano Compatible Hercules A2 Hardened Steel Nozzle
The E3D Volcano Compatible Hercules A2 Hardened Steel Nozzle is manufactured in the USA by Performance 3D using heat treated A2 tool steel and coated with Duraplat3-d wear-resistant coating for enhanced wear and flow. Compared to stainless steel nozzles, Hercules nozzles are 3X harder, have 50% better heat transfer, and 5x the wear life. Hercules nozzles are the clear cut choice for printing with more abrasive filaments like ourCarbonX Carbon Fiber grades.
Compatible with the following printers / hotends:
- Prusa i3 MK2 (with E3D v5 v6 hotend)
- Hexagon Hotend
- Robo R1
- Robo R1 +Plus
- E3D All-Metal Hotend

Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
