FAQ
What filaments does the Prusa Core One support?
Can the Prusa Core One print PETG?
Yes. PETG prints well on the Prusa Core One at about 240°C hotend and 80°C bed. See the full Prusa Core One PETG profile.
Can the Prusa Core One print ABS or ASA?
Yes — the Prusa Core One is enclosed, which is exactly what ABS and ASA need to avoid warping.
Does the Prusa Core One need an all-metal hotend for high-temp filament?
No — the Prusa Core One already has an all-metal hotend, so it can safely reach the temperatures needed for ABS, ASA, PC and nylon (within its 290°C limit).
