Phaetus Conch Plus SiC Hotend - Bambu X1 / X1C (Heater & Thermistor Included)

Phaetus Conch Plus SiC High-Flow Hotend for Bambu Lab X1 / X1C (Ceramic Heater & Thermistor included)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

The Phaetus Conch Hotend Plus SiC Series (With Heater & Thermistor) is a complete, pre-assembled drop-in upgrade engineered specifically for the Bambu Lab X1 and X1C. Featuring an integrated Silicon Carbide (SiC) nozzle with a Mohs hardness of 9.8 and pre-installed thermal electronics, this hotend delivers maximum wear resistance and high volumetric flow without needing to transfer delicate stock heating elements or sensors.

KEY FEATURES:

• Pre-Assembled Assembly: Factory-installed ceramic heater cartridge and thermistor sensor allow for immediate plug-and-play installation.
• Extreme Hardness SiC Nozzle: Silicon Carbide material (Mohs 9.8) provides up to double the wear resistance of standard hardened steel, making it ideal for continuous printing with carbon fiber, glass fiber, wood, metal, and glow-in-the-dark filaments.
• EndCoat Treated Heat Break: Features an EndCoat surface treatment combined with a copper alloy heater block for high thermal efficiency and protection against heat creep.
• Kinematic Coupling Design: Rigid structural framework protects the thin-walled heat break from bending or snapping during accidental bed levels or nozzle impacts.
• High Volumetric Flow: Designed to maintain consistent extrusion at flow rates up to 35 mm³/s and operating temperatures up to 320°C.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Compatible Printers: Bambu Lab X1 / Bambu Lab X1-Carbon (X1C)
• Included Electronics: 24V Ceramic Heating Element & High-Precision Thermistor
• Thermal Conductivity: Up to 170 W/m·K
• Maximum Printing Temperature: 320°C
• Maximum Volumetric Flow: 35 mm³/s
• Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Compatible Materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PC, PA, Carbon Fiber Composites (PA-CF, PET-CF), Glass Fiber Composites (PA-GF), Fillamentum / Abrasives

PRO TIP:

When installing abrasive composite filaments (like Carbon Fiber or Glass Fiber), double-check your slicer settings to increase the retraction distance slightly (by 0.2mm to 0.4mm) compared to standard brass or steel hotends. Because Silicon Carbide has superior thermal conductivity (170 W/m·K), heat transfers into the melt zone significantly faster, which can cause subtle stringing if stock retraction profiles are left unadjusted.
