Filament Heads
Hot Flow is our term for filament-based materials which are deposited at over 150°C, depending on the head.
Note that at present, our Hot Flow heads work with 1.75mm filament (actually, 1.6mm to 1.9mm), but not 3mm filament.

Heads for Hot Flow
Hot Flow is available through the following heads:
The following table compares the properties of the various Hot Flow heads:
| Head | Min Temp | Max Temp | Filament | Nozzles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MK1-250 | 150°C | 250°C | 1.75mm | 0.50mm Standard 0.35mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm Optional |
| MK2-250 | 150°C | 250°C | 1.75mm | 0.50mm Standard 0.35mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm Optional |
| MK1-450 | 250°C | 450°C* | 1.75mm | 0.50mm Standard 0.35mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm Optional |
| *Note, the MK1-450 should either be used in the 250-350°C range, or the 350-450°C range. | ||||
