The UltiMaker Factor 4 is capable of reaching 340°C using the UltiMaker HT core. The UltiMaker HT core is an abrasion resistant print core, similar to the CC print cores. With the UltiMaker HT core a copper heater block instead of an aluminum heater block is used, allowing print temperatures up to 340°C.
Compatibility
The UltiMaker HT core is officially supported with
UltiMaker PPS CF and
UltiMaker PET CF. The UltiMaker HT core can also be used in combination with 3rd party materials, such as Kimya PEKK and high temperature composite materials, such as carbon or glass fiber reinforced polymers.
Printing guidelines
Printing with the HT cores works similar to other configurations. Make sure to regularly clean your print cores on the outside and on the inside with a hot and cold pull. Keeping the outside of the nozzle clean ensures a longer lifetime of the silicon nozzle cover.
