UltiMaker Print Core CC
Meet the workhorse of high-performance 3D printing: the UltiMaker Print Core CC. Built for composites and designed for durability, this quick-swap cartridge brings abrasion resistance, precision, and flexibility—minus the drama.
Built Tough, Swapped Fast
With its abrasion-resistant hardened steel nozzle and titanium heat-break, the CC core is engineered to endure the grind. It’s the go-to companion for abrasive materials like carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, and metal-filled filaments.
Choose Your Speed vs. Detail
- 0.4 mm nozzle — precision, crisp layers, smooth finishes.
- 0.6 mm nozzle — speed and strength for large or tough parts.
Plug-and-Print Convenience
Tool-free, drop-in changes make swapping print cores faster than coffee brewing. Plus, the built-in EEPROM remembers your nozzle size and type—so Cura can be smarter, not just user-friendly.
Proven, Composite Ready
Tailored for composite materials from the UltiMaker Marketplace and beyond, the CC core thrives on rugged filaments—from carbon fiber to metal blends. Leading engineers and materials partners celebrate its balance of detail and wear resistance.
Compatibility & Notes
- Works with UltiMaker S3, S5, S5 Pro Bundle, S7, S7 Pro Bundle, and Factor 4.
- Nozzles are built in—do not replace them manually (voids warranty).
Price Highlight
Expect a premium—but justified—tag of around €299 / $299, depending on the region. A small price for a nozzle that laughs at abrasion.
In short: if you demand serious performance from composite prints—without downtime—the UltiMaker Print Core CC is your “load-and-go” solution. Choose between razor-sharp detail or raw printing muscle, and get ready to build tougher, faster, better.
FAQ — Common Customer Questions
What makes the Print Core CC different from other UltiMaker print cores?
The CC core uses a hardened steel nozzle and titanium heat-break, making it highly resistant to abrasive filaments such as carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, and metal-filled materials.
Which nozzle sizes are available?
The Print Core CC comes in 0.4 mm for detailed parts and 0.6 mm for stronger, faster prints.
Can I change the nozzle on the CC core?
No — the nozzle is integrated. Attempting to replace it will void the warranty. Instead, swap the entire print core for a different nozzle size.
Which printers are compatible with the Print Core CC?
It is compatible with the UltiMaker S3, S5, S5 Pro Bundle, S7, and S7 Pro Bundle.
Does Cura automatically recognize the CC core?
Yes. The built-in EEPROM communicates nozzle size and type to Cura, ensuring correct settings are applied automatically.
Can I print with non-composite materials on the CC core?
Yes. While optimized for composites, the CC core can print standard materials. However, you may prefer other cores (AA or BB) for typical PLA or PVA jobs to keep the CC reserved for demanding filaments.
