Ultimaker Print Core CC Red 0.6mm

The Ultimaker Print Core CC Red is available in 0.6mm nozzle sizes for the Ultimaker S5

The print core, developed in collaboration with Anders Olsson, features a precision-machined 0.6 mm diameter nozzle with a specially customized geometry. With a wear-resistant ruby cone at its tip, this print core ensures reliable 3D printing with composite materials. Also included in the packaging are four spare Ultimaker S5 nozzle covers, for long-term use. Enables printing with abrasive composite materials (i.e. a plastic filament reinforced with fibres, such as carbon, glass, ceramics, or metal). Ultimaker has preconfigured profiles for advanced composites from world-leading material companies which are available via Ultimaker Cura, giving you a hassle-free 3D printing experience.

The print core CC Red is compatible with the Ultimaker S5. (It is not compatible with the Ultimaker 3 because its feeder is not wear-resistant for printing with abrasive materials)

Main benefits

• Precision-machined brass nozzle with a wear-resistant ruby cone at its tip
• Specially customized internal geometry prevents clogging
• Features the same quick-swap design as other Ultimaker print cores for fast changeovers with no tooling and maximum uptime
• Each print core CC Red 0.6 is packaged with four spare Ultimaker S5 nozzle covers for long-term use

Development

• Design tested to print 10 kg of carbon fibre filament with no loss of print quality, and 1,000 plus hours of extrusion. (In comparison, a typical brass nozzle can print about 0.3 kg and hardened steel 3 kg of such material before print quality is reduced)
• Performed over 1,000 heat cycles and 2,000,000 retractions in testing
• Developed in collaboration with engineer and Ultimaker community member Anders Olsson
