Description
The HeatCore 4 UHF ALPS Hotend is a next-generation, compact high-performance hotend designed for ultra-fast, high-temperature 3D printing. Featuring a 4 mm heating element, aerospace-grade components, and seamless compatibility with the ALPS pressure-based bed leveling module, it delivers rapid heat-up, stable extrusion, and precise leveling for professional and industrial applications.
Key Features of HeatCore 4 UHF Hotend
1. Ultra-Compact Design
- 4 mm High-Performance Heater Cartridge: Minimizes heater block volume for reduced thermal mass and faster response.
- Lightweight Construction: Lowers overall printhead weight, improving printer dynamics and speed.
2. High-Power Heating System
- 60 W Heater: Achieves target temperatures in seconds, dramatically cutting preheat times.
- 400 °C Maximum: Supports high-temperature materials with a Pt1000 temperature sensor for precise control.
3. Aerospace-Grade Wear-Resistant Throat
- Low-Friction Material: Reduces filament drag and heat loss, ensuring smooth, consistent flow.
4. Titanium-Reinforced Structure
- Innovative Screw-Support Framework: Distributes mechanical stress across the hotend, enhancing reliability during long prints.
5. V6 Nozzle Compatibility
- Standard Copper Nozzle Included: Easily swap in hardened steel, tungsten carbide, or silicon carbide nozzles to suit abrasive or high-temperature filaments.
6. Exceptional Flow Performance
- > 40 mm³/s Throughput: Guarantees stable feeding at high print speeds, maximizing productivity.
Highlights of the ALPS Pressure-Based Leveling Module
- Nozzle Calibration Probe
1. 24-Bit High-Precision ADC
- ADS131M02 Chip: Sampling at 64 kHz to detect minute pressure changes, outperforming HX711-based sensors.
2. On-Chip Signal Amplification
- 128× Gain: Enhances sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio for reliable bed triggering.
3. Advanced Noise Reduction
- Low-Drift Reference & Kalman Filtering: Slashes measurement error by over 90 %, delivering ultra-stable readings.
4. Plug-and-Play Threshold Adjustment
- USB Interface: Allows real-time threshold tuning on a PC—no coding or firmware tweaks required.
5. Broad Firmware Compatibility
- Modular Integration: Works seamlessly with Klipper, Marlin, RRF, and other popular firmwares for custom pressure-based leveling workflows.
We provide a 1.5 meter cable for the ALPS module to connect directly to the motherboard Uart interface.
