Description

Ultimaker Print Core AA+ 0.40mm (1104010613): Precision-engineered print core designed for use with UltiMaker’s S-series 3D printers, including the S3, S5, S6, S7 and S8. Developed for reliable dual extrusion, it is ideal for standard materials such as PLA, PETG and Tough PLA. With a 0.40mm nozzle diameter, it delivers an excellent balance of detail and throughput, making it suitable for a wide range of prototyping and production tasks.

This upgraded AA+ version features enhanced temperature stability and improved structural reliability. It allows fast, tool-free hot-swapping and is automatically recognised by the printer via its built-in EEPROM chip, ensuring smooth integration with UltiMaker firmware and Cura software. Whether for functional parts or detailed models, the AA+ print core guarantees dependable performance and high-quality results across all compatible S-line machines, including the latest UltiMaker S6.

COMPATIBILITY EXPLANATION:

The AA and BB print cores are compatible with all UltiMaker printers that use print cores (UltiMaker 3, S series, and Factor 4). These print cores are not intended for use with abrasive materials.

The CC print cores are only compatible with UltiMaker printers with abrasion-resistant feeders (S series and Factor 4). These print cores are intended for use with abrasive or composite materials. These print cores cannot be used on the UltiMaker 3, because the UltiMaker 3 feeders are not compatible with composite materials.

See more information about the AA and CC cores on the UltiMaker S8 below.

The CC print cores can also be used in combination with the Material Station. The Material Station has abrasion-resistant prefeeders in all material bays. However, the Material Station is not compatible with all composite materials. Please check the latest profiles in the UltiMaker Marketplace to determine if the material can be used with the Material Station.

The DD cores are not recommended for use with the S series Material Station. The DD print cores currently only support Ultrafuse Support Layer filament, which is used when printing metal. This is not recommended with the S series Material Station due to the curves in the internal filament path. On Factor 4, the filament path is different (smoother) so this does not affect the Ultrafuse material as much.

The HT print cores are only compatible with Factor 4. This print core type is optimized for high-temperature materials, such as UltiMaker PPS CF. This material requires a high printing and build volume temperature to print reliably; only Factor 4 features a heated build chamber.

The AA+ and CC+ print cores feature redesigned nozzles optimised for faster material melting and deposition, ensuring seamless compatibility with UltiMaker Cheetah motion planning. This advanced motion planner is exclusive to the UltiMaker S8.

Regular AA and CC print cores can be used on the S8, but this workflow is not fully supported. These cores are not designed for the high-speed capabilities of the S8. The AA and CC cannot be selected for S8 in Cura; no profiles are developed for this configuration. To use the regular AA and CC cores on the S8, you can slice the print job for UltiMaker S7 instead and print it on S8.
