With the 3D Print Head PH-40 you can create high quality 3D models layer by layer. The variable temperature control makes it possible to use all filaments with a processing temperature of 150 to 265°C and a diameter of 1.75 mm. Additionally, the PH-40 contains numerous useful features, e. g. the quick release for the filament change, the automatic shutdown of the hot-end and the heating or the integrated active cooling of the hot-end, making 3D printing even more comfortable and safe.

In order to start 3D printing, please export an STL-file from your CAD program or select one of the many templates you will find in the internet. Afterwards, this file needs to prepared for the STEPCRAFT CNC System in a slicing software like CURA. This is also where the most significant 3D print parameters, such as layer thickness, nozzle diameter and infill, are defined. You will find a download file with the most important parameters for CURA here. The created work file can be processed by the control software WinPC-NC, UCCNC or others.

The control software WinPC-NC Starter does not support the operation of the 3D Print Head. Either an upgrade to the USB full version or the control software UCCNC is required.
