CORE One Upgrades

HT Hotend Upgrade (for CORE One/+ and CORE One L/+)

An easy-swappable 400°C (752 °F) hotend that lets the CORE One series print high-temp materials.

Upgrade your 3D printer with this easy-swappable 400°C (752 °F) HT Hotend and unlock the ability to print high-temp materials like PEKK-CF, PPS-CF, PPSU, and more. It also improves strength and layer adhesion with advanced materials like ASA or PA. The HT Hotend comes with a hardened ObXidian 500 nozzle and works with all versions of the CORE One family.

Highlights

400°C (752 °F) high-temp printing

This easy-swappable 400°C (752 °F) HT Hotend lets you print high-temp materials like PEKK-CF, PPS-CF, PPSU, and more. It also opens up PPS, PPA and other high-end materials.

Stronger parts from familiar materials

Printing at 350 °C (662 °F) improves the interlayer adhesion of Prusament PC Blend Carbon Fiber by 7 %. With the HT Hotend, PA11 Carbon Fiber's interlayer adhesion improves by 23 %.

Extreme chemical and heat resistance

The HT hotend supports PPS filaments filled with carbon or glass fibers. PPS offers a heat deflection temperature up to 250 °C (482 °F) and a UL94 V-0 flame-retardant rating.

Wear-resistant moving parts

PPA Carbon Fiber is a high-performance polyamide with strong resistance to wear, heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It has better dimensional stability and lower hygroscopicity than PA6, PA12, and PA612.

Hardened ObXidian 500 nozzle

The hotend comes with a hardened, non-high-flow 0.4 mm ObXidian 500 nozzle that resists abrasion from most materials.

Swap hotends instead of nozzles

Skip the tedious nozzle screwing and keep more than one hotend ready, such as the HT Hotend with its hardened nozzle and the standard hotend with a high-flow brass nozzle. It works with the whole CORE One family.

In detail

Extreme chemical and heat resistance with PPS

The HT Hotend supports printing PPS filaments filled with carbon or glass fibers. PPS offers a heat deflection temperature up to 250 °C (482 °F) and great mechanical resistance. It also offers extreme chemical resistance and a UL94 V-0 flame-retardant rating. No known solvent can dissolve PPS at temperatures below 200 °C (392 °F).

PPS Glass Fiber

Moving parts with maximum wear resistance

PPA Carbon Fiber is a high-performance polyamide with strong resistance to wear, heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It offers better dimensional stability and lower hygroscopicity than commonly used polyamides, such as PA6, PA12, and PA612.

PPA Carbon Fiber

Stronger parts from PC Blend Carbon Fiber

Prusament PC Blend Carbon Fiber can be printed with a regular hotend, but it gets better properties when printed at elevated temperatures. Printing at 350 °C (662 °F) improves the material's interlayer adhesion by 7 %, making the components more resistant to breaking.

PC Blend

Better mechanical properties for Prusament PA11 Carbon Fiber

On a regular hotend, PA11 Carbon Fiber is printed at the lowest limit of its temperature range. Printing it with an HT Hotend improves the material's interlayer adhesion by 23 %.

Compatible with the whole CORE One family

The HT Hotend works with all versions of the CORE One. The CORE One L+ gives the best results because it has the most effective heatbed and chamber heating, with chamber temperatures up to 60 °C (140 °F). The CORE One+ (Gen 2) has slightly longer preheat times and a smaller print volume.

Questions

What nozzle comes with the HT Hotend?

Hardened non-high-flow 0.4 mm (ObXidian 500). This is a high-quality, extremely resistant nozzle that resists abrasion from most materials.

Do I need chamber filtration for printing high-temperature materials?

It is strongly recommended. Most high-temperature materials emit dangerous fumes.

Can I print PEEK, PEKK, or PEI with this upgrade?

A 400 °C (752 °F) hotend temperature and a 120 °C (248 °F) heatbed temperature are on the lower end but sufficient for printing such materials. However, a 60 °C (140 °F) chamber temperature is too low. Small components may be printable, but larger parts will cause significant warping and an overall high failure rate.

Can I print standard materials, like PLA and PETG, as well?

Yes, the HT Hotend works with all standard materials. However, you might need to change the nozzle depending on the material's requirements. For example, Prusament PETG Ultraglow requires a 0.6 hardened non-high-flow nozzle, whereas Prusament PLA High Speed works best with a 0.4 brass high-flow (CHT) nozzle.

Is there a high-temperature profile for PLA?

No. Prusa Research strongly warns against printing PLA or any other low-temperature materials at high temperatures. The PLA polymer degrades at 250 °C (482 °F). PLA releases dangerous fumes at higher temperatures and may even ignite at temperatures close to 400 °C (752 °F)! Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for materials you print with.
