      @damaged_goods out 1-3 are the same voltage as your input voltage.

      What temperature are you trying to reach?

      What hardware are you using exactly?

        @rushmere3d duet 3 mainboard, with Prusa hot end but I may upgrade. I am hoping to have a print temp range up to 300-350. Mostly just in case.

          @damaged_goods By Prusa hotend do you mean an E3D V6? If so you can't print over 300°c, 280°c to be honest with a stock one. You'd need to upgrade some of the components.

                  If you are happy with the V6 but it's struggling to reach the temperature you want, then a 60 watt heater might be a cheaper option than buying a whole new hot end. A 60 watt heater at 24V will still only draw 2.5 amps so well within the 6 amp spec of Out 1 to 3. Alternatively have you tried fitting a silicone sock?

                    @deckingman But they'll still need to change at least the block and thermistor because there max temp is 300°c.

                      Really? What's the block made out of - lead or a tin/lead alloy?

                      I'm using humble aluminium on my 6 input multi material hot end because I know the melting point of aluminium is around 660 deg C.

                        @deckingman Thank you gentleman. I did just try a sock and that does help. I also built a styrofoam aluminum foil enclosure. That along with a 240 volt 2160 watt bed heater gives me a pretty stable print environment. I will upgrade the hotend when this one gives up the ghost.

                            @deckingman Just giving the same warning as E3D do on their own products.

                              @rushmere3d The limit is because of the supplied thermister.
