Description

These premium HotEnds are an official collaboration between E3D, DiamondBack, and Bambu Lab - bringing you the most extreme HotEnd solution to date. E3D are very proud to be the only officially approved manufacturer of aftermarket Bambu Lab HotEnds.

Why Choose Diamond?

The rapid development of fibre, metal and ceramic filaments has increased the need for abrasion-resistant nozzles. Compared with all the nozzle options on the market, DiamondBack’s diamonds deliver unmatched wear-resistance and versatility.

Smooth and Hard

Unlock extreme wear resistance on your Bambu Lab printer thanks to DiamondBack’s Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tips. These diamonds are composed of thousands of tiny diamond crystals with a proprietary binder that forms a matrix of crystals joined with diamond-to-diamond bonds. They retain the hardness properties of diamond whilst reducing the inherent brittleness of a single-crystal diamond, making them a fantastic choice for printing with engineering grade metal and ceramic-filled filaments.

Precision Printing

DiamondBack nozzles rely on a solid diamond tip to improve precision 3D printing. The tip is not a diamond coating, but rather a solid diamond insert made from the hardest material in the world.

Longevity

The PCD used in these Bambu Lab HotEnds significantly extends nozzle life. It provides best-in-class thermal conductivity which improves interlayer adhesion for stronger prints, and the low coefficient of friction combined with a polished tip creates super smooth top layers with an ironing-like effect.

Effortless Upgrade

These HotEnds are a drop-in replacement for your stock Bambu Lab Hotend, no physical adjustment to the mount or part cooling is required.

Compatibility

These kits come in multiple variants with matching connectors for Bambu Lab's different printer models.

Some filled materials contain particles that are close to, if not larger than, some of the smaller industry standard nozzle sizes, including up to 0.4mm. Attempting to print such materials through these nozzle sizes significantly increases the risk of a jam. Please check your filament manufacturer’s datasheet for recommended minimum nozzle orifice diameter to ensure that the nozzle/hotend you choose is suitable for your use case.

 

Please note:

  • Whilst these Hotends are rated to 320°C this only applies to the X1E printer. The X1C, P1P, and P1S remain temperature limited to 300°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum printing temperature of DiamondBack Bambu Lab HotEnd? 

These HotEnds are rated to 320°C, however, please note that the following machines are temperature limited to 300°C P1P/P1S/X1C. 

Do I need to make any changes to the slicer profile after upgrading to DiamondBack Bambu Lab Hotend? 

We recommend the standard slicer profiles in Bambu Studio as a starting point when printing with Diamondback HotEnds. However, it may be possible for print performance to be further improved by tuning for your specific filament.

Can you print High Flow with the DiamondBack Bambu Lab HotEnd?

The DiamondBack Bambu Lab Hotend is not a high flow HotEnd so you can expect to maintain the same print speed as your stock Bambu Lab HotEnd. It is intended for extreme abrasive resistance against materials like carbon fibre, glass fibre, ceramic and metal-filled filaments.

Can a DiamondBack nozzle print any filament?

Yes, the nozzle itself has the ability to print any material. However, please bear in mind that despite using the nozzle you will still be limited by the temperature restrictions of your printer.

Does this HotEnd come with a heater, temperature sensor, and fan?

Yes, it is a fully assembled complete HotEnd.

DiamondBack Fan Failure

Not too happy! Fan faulty - sent a ticket for it....no response going on over a week since I made the original request!. As well I am having parts come loose during the print. Did not have problems before with original hotels!

Hi Claire,

We're sorry about the delay in getting back to your support ticket. I can confirm that we have sent you a replacement fan and it should be with you any day.

Again, apolgies for the inconvinience and downtime this has caused.

worse than stock nozzle

Wore out after 1Kg of Polymaker PLA Luminous orange. My first spool printed perfectly but i quickly started having extrusion issues on the next one. Did cold pulls till it was clean but nozzle has never printed as well since. Extrusion issues on gold picture. Green benchy left is Bambu Lab nozzle and the right is e3d, you can see bulges in layers and e3d is noticeably worse. I contacted support and they asked me to print their own benchmark buggy and they blamed my parts fan. I told them my parts fan is running fine and asked for some clarification but have been ignored since. Maybe I just got a bad nozzle but I don't know. They had said overhangs were a giveaway so i did an overhang test. The bambu lab nozzle did slightly better, both nozzles didn't have issues till 60 degree hang but issues were about 5% less on bambu nozzle. I think that overhang test was within average range of P1S ability. However I would expect the E3D Obxidian to at least match performance, not be worse. It must've been defective because it doesn't make sense for it to wear out so fast. Id rather do an exchange than a return but customer service stopped responding to me after 2 emails.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback regarding our response times. We aim to reply within 48 hours; however, as E3D is closed over the weekends, we apologise for the delay in getting back to you.

Regarding your Bambu Hotend, if you've been printing primarily with PLA, it’s unlikely that wear is the issue. We recommend purging filament in open air to ensure there is no blockage. Additionally, for the E3DBuggy’s overhangs, it appears the drooping could be improved by fine-tuning the slicer settings rather than indicating a hardware fault.

Our Tech Support team has sent you some suggestions via email this morning. Please give those a try, and let us know if any issues persist—we’re here to help.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Georgia

Works great, but not for PLA Silk

I got the 0.6mm nozzle from a local reseller in the US. Upon testing it out, I believe the nozzle does a great job. It keeps up with high volumetric flow, and the parts have noticeably better layer adhesion.

However, this nozzle doesn't seem great for PLA Silk filaments, and I don't know why that is. All the prints that I try end up with ghosting, and what seems to be ringing, but diagonally. Normally ringing is vertical, so this looks to me like the coating on the nozzle tip is actually somewhat sticky to PLA Silk, and it drags over it.

I already spent about 10 hours trying to dial it down, and the only thing that helps hide the issue a little is in OrcaSlicer enabling "Down slow down for overhangs". The issue is not gone, but reduced. If I swap out to a stock 0.6mm nozzle then I don't see this issue. And this is only with PLA Silk.

Besides that, everything works great. Bed Leveling is fine, it just works out of the box with every other filament that I tried except for PLA Silk.

Now, It is a pretty steep price to pay, was it worth it? The speed gains are not really noticeable. It saves maybe about 5% total time. However, the stronger layer adhesion is definitely worth it for my use cases.

High flow, but super sticky

The higher flow compared to Bambu stock nozzle is here, but how dare you sell this nozzle as non-sticky ?
Filament stick a lot on it, it ruins all my multicolor prints.
The nozzle also lets filament flow when changing colors, leaving unwanted bits on prints.
At the end the print quality is not here, at least in multicolor.
Just usable for one color print requiring higher flow.
personally I'm not going to use it anymore, it will sleep in a drawer from now on.

Hi there,

Thank you for getting in touch with us. From what you've described it sounds like you're experiencing slight over extrusion that is compounding over time. Similarly, the oozing that you are describing suggests that both of these factors are temperature related. We'd initially suggest that you try printing at a lower temperature, there are excellent models on file sharing websites that allow you to fine tune your specific filament settings - https://makerworld.com/en/search/models?keyword=temperature%20calibration.

Whilst ObXidian does have non-stick properties, particuarly sticky materials such as PetG can still stick to some degree, however this amount will be significantly less than without a non-stick coating. We hope that our suggestions get you back up and running with your ObX HF upgrade, if not please do open a support ticket with us and we will be happy to assist you further.

Best wishes,
Georgia

Switched to this hotend because I print PLA CF

Switched to this hotend because I print PLA CF for my product. I've had perfect prints every time.

The only failures I've had were due to prototype render errors.

Definitely worth the money. If I were using a standard nozzle, I probably would have gone through 2 or 3 by now.

Clogged

Clogged and after all of the techniques to unclog, eventually gave up. Disappointed that such an expensive hotend would fail on me like this

Hi there,

Please contact our Tech Support team on support@e3d-online.com so they can help you try to unclog the HotEnd.

So far I haven’t had any issues with the nozzle

So far I haven’t had any issues with the nozzle. I installed it without any problems, and after a simple calibration it prints great.

All prints fail, don't buy it

Since changing to the ObXdian Hotend on my Bambu X1 Carbon, all prints fail. Don't buy, just use the far cheaper stock hotends from Bambu.

Hi G,

We're sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience printing. If you haven't already, please can you contact our support team on support@e3d-online.com so they can troubleshoot the issue for you? We're keen to get you up and printing ASAP!

Best wishes,

While everything hardware related is excellent

While everything hardware related is excellent, the fact that Bambu doesn't have a dedicated software profile for this extruder, when they do have one forE3D's high flow one, is a paint point. Hopefully that comes soon, 5 stars as soon as that is available.

Hey Joaquín,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, we're delighted to hear that you're having a great time with the product. I am very happy to say that Bambu Lab have now integrated the High Flow profiles in to Bambu Studio so do check them out!

Best wishes,
Georgia

Clogged and ruined after less than a spool

All I got through was a few calibration prints on my P1S with PLA, ABS, and TPU, and this nozzle clogged on the TPU using the recommended settings. I followed all E3D's troubleshooting recommendations, including about 40 attempts at cold pulls using all types of filament, and nothing worked. E3D offered me a 20% discount on my next purchase...sure, like I'm going to spend another $100 on a nozzle that clogs with basic filament using recommended settings. They don't stand behind their product.

Brand new paperweight

Brand new.. 6-8 hours of printing asa-cf filament and all I've got is a paperweight now. Good luck unclogging this thing. Don't buy

Hey Derrick,

So far this is an amazing hot end. Far superior to the stock. I pulled a full roll of Nylon CF out of the dryer, and its been printing amazing right out of the gate. Also, Cheers to the fast shipping.
