Abrasive filaments: which nozzle should I use?
I have an MK4S with the stock HF0.4 nozzle and would like to test printing with carbon fiber filaments. Since these are abrasive, I understand that I should replace the existing nozzle with a hardened one. Are there any hardened nozzles on the market that are directly compatible with the MK4S, or will I need to purchase the V6 Nozzle Adapter?
I’m a bit confused about the available options.

Here you go:

You can also use a V6 Nozzle and an adapter, which is what I do as when I wanted one I could not get a nextruder version

Thanks 😀
Unfortunately it's out of stock. I see there is also a: "Prusa Nozzle ObXidian - 0.4 mm" not High Flow.

Is there going to be a substantial difference in printing speed?

Sorry, no idea. I've got a mk4 with mmu so no use for the high flow on mine.
In the UK at least there are a few other suppliers for obxidian nextruder nozzles, for instance those below so worth searching where you live

RE: Abrasive filaments: which nozzle should I use?
Thanks again! 😀 I found the High Flow nozzle through a local supplier here in Spain.
One additional question: Do I need to adjust the temperature because the nozzle isn’t made of brass?
I assume the metal in the ObXidian nozzle has a different heat transfer coefficient than brass.

No, leave it the same
