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

The Power of 400 °C

The HT Hotend Upgrade enables a nozzle temperature of up to 400 °C, unlocking a whole new category of materials for your desktop manufacturing. You can now reliably print high-performance polymers such as:

• PEKK-CF – superior mechanical properties and high continuous service temperatures, making it ideal for structural parts subjected to extreme environments.
• PPS-CF – outstanding chemical resistance, excellent flame retardancy, and high stiffness, frequently utilized in automotive and fluid handling applications.
• PPCF – cost-effective balance of high stiffness, good chemical inertness, and lightweight properties compared to non-fiber-reinforced polypropylene.
• PPSU – exceptional toughness, thermal stability, and resistance to hydrolysis, PPSU is widely used in medical devices and sterilization trays due to its ability to withstand repeated hot water exposure and steam.
• PPA – high-performance nylon noted for its high strength, rigidity, and excellent resistance to moisture and wear, often replacing metals in automotive and electrical connectors.
• PPA-CF – improved stiffness, strength, and reduced thermal expansion, making it suitable for functional prototyping and demanding jigs and fixtures.

These polymers stand out for their exceptional temperature and chemical resistance, as well as superior durability. With the HT Hotend Upgrade, you can print high-performance, ready-to-use parts directly from your desk.

Even Better Performance with Advanced Materials

The HT Hotend Upgrade doesn't just unlock new materials; it also significantly enhances your prints using filaments like ASA, PA (Nylon), PA11, or even PETG, which the CORE One and CORE One L support from the start.

Specifically, thanks to better layer adhesion achieved at higher temperatures, prints using these materials can become up to 30% sturdier. The HT Hotend provides unparalleled strength and reliability across your entire advanced filament library.

Easy installation

Installing this upgrade is a tool-less, quick-swap process. It takes less than a minute to exchange the hotend, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum flexibility between printing standard and high-temperature materials.

An Engineer's Upgrade

With the HT Hotend Upgrade installed, your Prusa CORE One and CORE One L become even more versatile machines, essential for various demanding industries:

• R&D and Prototyping (Rapid development with production-grade materials)
• Automotive (Durable parts, fixtures, and tooling)
• Aerospace (Components meeting strict strength and thermal requirements)
• Medicine (Custom fixtures and components requiring sterilization)

This capability allows your printed parts to meet rigorous industry standards and certifications like AS9100 and ISO 10993 for critical, long-term applications.
