UltiMaker Print Core AA+ 0.40

UltiMaker Print Core AA+ for high-flow industrial performance

The UltiMaker Print Core AA+ is a next-generation extrusion component developed for the UltiMaker S8 platform. It features a redesigned internal architecture capable of delivering up to 2.5× higher flow rates compared to standard AA cores. This improved flow capacity allows significantly faster printing while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Designed for professional environments, the AA+ retains UltiMaker’s tool-free quick-swap design. This allows operators to switch print cores in seconds, keeping production workflows efficient and minimising printer downtime.

Key benefits:

• High-flow architecture: Up to 2.5× higher flow rate compared to standard AA cores, enabling faster production of large parts.
• Optimised pressure control: Updated internal geometry improves extrusion stability and reduces artefacts at high printing speeds.
• Wide material compatibility: Designed for common build materials including PLA, Tough PLA, ABS, Nylon and CPE.
• Advanced thermal sensing: Integrated electronics provide accurate temperature readings to maintain optimal extrusion conditions.
• Leakage protection: Silicone cover protects the heater block and helps prevent filament buildup inside the print head.
• Seamless workflow: Fully integrated with UltiMaker Cura profiles and automatic printer recognition.

Maintenance tip:

For consistent high-flow performance, ensure feeder tension is correctly adjusted for the selected material. Inspect the silicone cover periodically for wear. If extrusion becomes inconsistent, perform a hot and cold pull using UltiMaker Cleaning Filament to clear the internal flow path.
