Ultimaker - Print Core CC 0.4 Extruder

Ultimaker - Print Core CC 0.4 printhead

The Ultimaker Print Core CC 0.4 printhead is the latest addition to the Ultimaker Print Core series, suitable for specific projects and applications ranging from manufacturing to prototyping. It is both an update and replacement for Print Core CC Red, offering enhanced robustness and reliability.

The Ultimaker Print Core CC features abrasion-resistant, hardened steel nozzles and a variety of nozzle sizes, utilizing a range of composite materials from within the Ultimaker system for enhanced working capabilities!


The Ultimaker Print Core CC printhead joins the Ultimaker ecosystem, alongside the Ultimaker Print Core AA and Ultimaker Print Core BB printheads. Each Print Core is designed for one purpose—to give you the freedom to design, create, and print, ensuring you have the right tools for your job .

Product Features:

Two nozzle sizes
The 0.4 mm printhead allows you to print parts, tools, or prototypes with higher visual quality and clearer details; while the 0.6 mm printhead produces slightly thicker filaments, which can reduce printing time and increase efficiency.



． Core CC 0.4 mm
The Ultimaker Print Core CC 0.4 has a smaller nozzle size, which means your printed items will have a higher level of detail, finer line width, and a smoother surface finish—enabling you to print parts or prototypes with the visual quality you need.



． Core CC 0.6 mm <br> By using Ultimaker Print Core CC 0.6 for 3D printing with larger line widths, your 3D printing jobs will be completed in less time, saving you time with greater efficiency and faster speed.



More reliable and robust design:
The Ultimaker Print Core CC features abrasion-resistant, hardened steel nozzles and a variety of nozzle sizes, utilizing a range of composite materials from within the Ultimaker system for enhanced working capabilities!



Quick Replace - No Tools Required:
The Ultimaker Print Core CC features a quick-change design, allowing for quick and easy tool-free replacement, just like all Ultimaker Print Cores, to meet the requirements of any printing job, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing downtime.



In addition, Print Core's EEPROM chip can record the size and type of the printhead, which can reduce 3D printing errors and increase the success rate of 3D printing.

What are the differences between CC 0.4, CC 0.6 and CC Red 0.6 Print Cores?

Technical differences between CC kernels
The CC Red 0.6 Print Core and the new CC 0.6 Print Core have the following differences:

Print core CC Red (old design)	Print Core CC (New Design)
Brass nozzle with ruby ​​tip	Tool steel nozzles with TiN coating
Brass heating block	Aluminum heating block
Thermal fracture of steel (0.15 mm thickness)	Titanium thermal fracture (0.3 mm thickness)
Aluminum radiator with Teflon insert	Aluminum heat sink without Teflon inserts

Differences between CC 0.4 and CC 0.6 Print Cores:

The CC 0.4 Print Core was launched in July 2021. The CC 0.4 Print Core features smaller linewidths, with layer heights of 0.15 and 0.2 mm under normal conditions. This allows users to achieve higher visual quality and smoother surface finishes in 3D printing ; while the CC 0.6 Print Core reduces printing time. The CC 0.6 Print Core has a larger overhang angle, producing better overhang quality.
