Basics

A FDM 3D Printer Nozzle made of a Brass Body, with a Polycrystalline Diamond Insert for the Orifice / "Cone" that leads into that
Thus has:
- Higher Thermal Conductivity
- Lower Friction
- And Most Importantly: Is not impacted by Abrasive Filament (Sort of if you are printing diamond reinforced plastic!)
Better than Brass Thermal Performance, Better than Hardened Steel Nozzle / Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Hardness
Main Issue is Cost (Although in comparison to similar hardened nozzles, it is somewhat nominal)
A Bit of an Unknown is Fragility
- Due to both Impact/Shock, and if a Cold Pull (FDM 3D Printing) can be preformed
- It also has a Lead warning, need to determine if this is due to Leaded Brass or Leaded Solder
  - Either way looking into that, and Lead Exposure from FDM 3D Printing (which should be minor, but hard numbers would be nice)
It is designed in the E3D V6 Format

Name Brand Nozzle for ~10 USD, Most 3D Printers/Hotends Come Stock with a Brass Nozzle (ie they can be Free* with the machine)
Cannot Print Abrasives
Will Need Replaced After a While (Need to determine specifically how often, FDM 3D Printer Nozzle Wear as a page on this maybe? "The 3D Print General" in [*Their Review Stated Brass Nozzles Should be Replaced Every Few Hundred Machine Hours
- Granted experiences may very with that depending on dyes (ie Silk-Finish PLA FDM 3D Printing Filament ), and what Tolerances the user is looking for (if all they print are blobby blocks, seeing a slightly more rough one may be considered nominal, rather than a sign of Nozzle Wear )

~95 USD Each
Functionally Infinite (Short of Damage) Machine Time
- Would be interesting to see a Cutaway after a Long Term Test to see if the brass "tube" part wears down and/or if that is even an issue
- Then we would need a (Brass (or Even Pure Copper!) Coated (For Screw Seal) ) All PCD Hotend!
May be able to print faster (if the Hotend is the Limiting Factor in your printer (May not be so for D3D as it stands now, definitely now so for the current Prusa machines, Currently the Limiting Factor for VORON / RatRig / VZBot 3D Printers) due to the higher heat flow allowing you to "push the filament" faster

Olsson Ruby Nozzle (Same Concept, but Poor Thermal Performance, and Decent Hardness, Also there have been reports of the Insert Becoming Dislodged, hence the fragility concern) (also seems like a marketing gimmick that it is ruby, given that Synthetic Ruby is just impure (ie more materials needed) Synthetic Sapphire )
