Much of the 3D Makers time is spent waiting, either for the printer to heat up and then for it to print your gorgeous model. But, for those wanting to push the boundaries of 3D printing technology, epic fast upgrades are available like this Phaetus Rapido Plus Hotend. Hotend Assembliesare one of the most delicate and important components in 3D printing. While some tweaking may be required elsewhere too, the hotend is often the centre of all the action where the magic happens. A highly technical upgrade like the Phaetus Rapido Plus Hotend will turn any standard 3D printer into a rapid-firing machine.
The Phaetus Rapido Plus UHF Hotend sports a marvellous newly designed heating block with a large melting zone which is the greatest factor that makes this hotend so fast and desirable. The requirements of high-speed and high-temperature printing informed the design of the Rapido hotend. A cylindrical ceramic heater is firmly installed in place amid the rigid structure of titanium alloy, allowing for lower thermal conductivity. The Phaetus Rapido Plus is designed for up to 350°C printing which means it can handle a great many 3D filaments, from standard PLA to interesting exotics like PC, PA and Woodfill.
This Ultra-High flow version of the Phaetus Rapido Plus Hotend arrives with a smart blue shell, the ability to rapidly heat up, and an interchangeable design for one-handed nozzle changing. A 0.4mm plated copper nozzle is installed inside the hotend, but it is easily interchangeable with the included 0.6mm volcano plated copper nozzle, which gushes a higher flow rate for the speediest printing this hotend can manage. You may switch out to the most convenient nozzle according to the demands of high temperature fiber filaments. The usual high-quality Phaetus design ensures smooth feeding and resistance to heat creep and clogging. The Phaetus Rapido Plus Hotend is the high-flow upgrade any advanced Maker who wants to crank their printing up to 11 needs.
