The low nozzle temperature capability

Hi

I ordered a kit, but one thing that made me hesitate was the low maximum nozzle temperature, which will make it difficult or on the edge for some of the "new" high performance materials like PPS-CF. Hence i started to wonder what in the print head that limits the temperature? If it was 320degC for example it would cover pretty much everything on the consumer market. I really wish Prusa in general put just a slight bit more thought in for the "demanding" users and a slight bit less on the "figurine and cosplay" market, but i guess there not enough of us 🙂

But Prusa is thinking about them. It's just more expensive: Prusa Pro HT90

Please excuse my writing style.

Prusa's thought for "demanding" users is the HT90. But for 1/10 that price, I'm will content myself with ASA and the occasional polycarbonate or nylon print.

The Ht90 is more professional than demanding user maybe:) PEEK and such is a completely different level of hardware, which is much more expensive and not really reasonable in this price range. Nozzle temps slightly above 300 is  getting more common from the chinese competitors, and needed for PPS for example, just wish prusa could match them on that part. Im not exactly sure where the limit is, the thermistor/heater or heat creep?
