Pick the Perfect Print Core for Your Application
UltiMaker now offers five different print cores to suit any project:
- Build Core - Prints most standard materials
- 0.25mm - Perfect for small or highly detailed parts
- 0.40mm - The standard print core, an excellent baseline for general printing
- 0.80 mm - A large nozzle, perfect for printing large parts with extra-wide extrusions
- Support Core - Prints PVA support material
- 0.4mm Support Core - The standard Support core, perfect for PVA support material
- 0.8mm Support Core - A large nozzle to print huge amount of support material extra fast
- CC Core - Prints Composites and abrasives
- 0.40mm CC Core - Excellent baseline for general printing with advanced materials
- 0.60mm CC Core - A large nozzle, perfect for printing large parts out of advanced materials
Questions
Do you do repairs on print cores? If not do you know any Companies that do? Thanks.
***why*** is the BB core not compatible with any other material? Specifically, if the internal nozzle shape is the only difference, the electronics & thermal sensor are the same (except for identifying itself as "BB"), then how come I cannot just buy BB cores for everything (especially if they are the expensive ruby/saphire kind)? Not an idle question. Ultimaker has made a statement about incompatibility without revealing specifics to justify it, and I actually *do* want to use my BB core for not-PVA because of the trouble I've had with Ultimaker-branded PVA, and also because I want the additional inventory flexibility. Cores are, after all, considered consumables by the OEM. Please, please, provide some insight if you can obtain some! Thanks, Mike
When the printer is shipped, this BB core was used to print black PLA for the calibration cube. What is the physical difference between the BB and an AA core, especially given that you printed in PLA with it yourself? How is it designed for PVA only?
so how many support cores come in one qty
Print core documentation says BB is designed for PVA and HIPS, but supported materials documentation says BB is only PVA, so which is it? PVA only, or PVA and HIPS?
Are there problems if the Print Core BB is used for materials other than PVA?
Can you mix and match print core sizes. For example use a .25 build novel with the .4 pva nozzle
It is not recommended.
I have with exquisite results. The 0.25mm AA core with the 0.4mm BB core allows for extremely detailed printing.
