How Prusa reaches 300c maximum temperature?
I was wondering how come the maximum temperature of the mk3s+ is 300c but the hotend specification say 285 maximum?
I’m thinking in ordering a new E3D v6 hotend but I dont want to loose the ability to print ASA or PC at 295c. Is there something different to order to get the original maximum of 300c?
RE: How Prusa reaches 300c maximum temperature?
The upper limit is defined in firmware, so as long as you use a properly rated thermistor and cartridge, the V6 should work. E3D sells Prusa versions of both, although as I understand it, the only difference from standard E3D versions is the cable length.

Ok, thanks.
by the way, the heatbreak is different. That I knew cause I had to replace it.

The Prusa version of the E3D V6 heatbreak has a 2.2-2.omm step that is intended to help with the MMU feeding. It's often blamed for feed problems, although IME it's usually not the root cause. You can use a standard or titanium E3D heatbreak if you prefer.
