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 DD print core is specifically intended for Ultrafuse® Support Layer material, used in the Metal Expansion Kit (unavailable in Australia unless through specific request).

0.4 mm Application

The Ultimaker Print Core DD is designed for metal 3D printing applications, enabling the extrusion of specialised support interface materials used alongside metal filaments. It is primarily used to create removable support layers during the printing of complex metal parts, helping simplify post-processing after debinding and sintering. Ideal for industrial prototyping, tooling, and functional metal component production within the Ultimaker Metal Expansion workflow.

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.
