V6 Maximum Temperature Ratings
300°C
The V6 comes as stock with a maximum temperature rating of 300°C.
Temperature limited parts:
- Aluminium HeaterBlock
- Thermistor
Hardened steel nozzles are not suitable for use with aluminium blocks above 240°C. You will need to upgrade to a plated copper block and hot tighten at 300°C.
500°C
The V6 can be upgraded to reach 500°C.
Required upgrades:
- Plated copper HeaterBlock
- PT100/ PT1000
Options
- Filament size: 1.75mm / 3.00mm
- Nozzle size: 0.40mm
- Voltage: 12V / 24V
