Description

A print core is a compact hot end, which can be exchanged without any tools. The print cores contain the nozzle, heater block, heater and sensor, and a small EEPROM chip. The filament is heated up inside the print core and extrudes from the nozzle. There are several types of print cores, which may look a little different, but all contain the same kinds of components.

Compatible Materials

The BB print core is intended for support materials. Optimised for materials such as PVA and Breakaway, the BB print core enables clean support generation and efficient material removal for complex geometries.

Compatible Printers

Current Models:

0.8 mm Application

Accelerate support material printing with the BB 0.8mm print core, designed for efficient, larger-scale support structures.

0.4 mm Application

This print core is specifically engineered for PVA support material.

What is a Print Core?

Barrier tube. This part guides the filament from the end of the Bowden tube into the hot end.
Top bracket. You hold this part when inserting or removing the core. It is transparent to show the LED to indicate the core's status.
PCB. This board connects to the PCB inside the print head. The EEPROM chip contains information about the print core type, nozzle size, and printing hours.
PT100. (right) This sensor registers the nozzle temperature.
Heater cartridge. (left) Heats up the nozzle.
Spring. This spring compresses to allow nozzle lifting and exchanging the print core.
Lever. Squeeze this lever upward to compress the spring when removing or inserting the print core.
Heat sink. The ridges help cool the print core, to prevent the heat from traveling too far upward.
Bracket. The 'body' of the core. The type and nozzle size are printed on the front.
Heat break. This thin aluminum part prevents the heat from the nozzle from traveling upward.
Heater block. This part is heated up during printing to the material-specific temperature.
Nozzle. Material extrudes from the nozzle. Different types and sizes are available.
