Embodiments are directed to nozzles for three-dimensional printing and related nozzle assemblies and methods. An example nozzle includes at least one top surface, at least one bottom surface, and at least one lateral surface extending from or near the top surface to or near the bottom surface. The nozzle includes at least one conduit surface defining a conduit. The conduit surface extends from or near the top surface to or near the bottom surface. In an embodiment, at least a portion of the conduit surface proximate to the top surface is non-vertical (e.g., defines a non-cylindrical or non-rectangular shape). The non-vertical conduit surface may be positioned such that it is not parallel to a central axis of the nozzle extending from the top surface to the bottom surface.

Nozzles, nozzle assemblies, and related methods

Embodiments are directed to nozzles for three-dimensional printing and related assemblies and methods. An example method includes, on a first side of a material, forming a hole into the material to define an at least partially conical inner conduit extending at least partially through the material, and, on a second side of the material, forming a through-hole into the material to define an exit orifice of the nozzle, the exit orifice connecting with the at least partially conical inner conduit to define a fluid pathway through the nozzle.
