What was reported

Heated to 200°C for ~20 seconds on first use, then stopped heating. Thermistor still reads correctly.

Our take

Our tech confirmed the heater core won’t heat (reads OK on a multimeter). Otherwise near-new: fit a replacement Rapido ceramic core, or use for spares.

Repair hint

Replace the ceramic heating core.

Are you looking to buy LUCKY DIP · Phaetus Rapido Plus 350°C High Flow Hotend: Dead Heater Core, Sold As-Is in Australia?

LUCKY DIP: faulty customer return, sold as-is. No returns, no warranty.

This listing is for one returned Phaetus Rapido Plus 350°C high-flow hotend. It came back to us in December 2023 after a single heat-up and has been on the shelf since. Rather than freight it back to the supplier overseas, we're letting a tinkerer have it cheap.

How the price works: it starts at $45 and drops every night at midnight for 30 days, down to a $15 floor. The floor price only lasts 24 hours. If nobody grabs it, the price goes back up to $45 and the 30-day countdown starts again. Wait too long and you could miss it, or have to wait another month.

What was reported

  • Installed on a Voron Stealthburner, it heated to 200°C for about 20 seconds, then stopped heating completely.
  • The thermistor kept reading correctly, and the printer's board was fine (the old hotend worked again).
  • Our tech confirmed it: it reads OK on a multimeter but the heater core won't heat up no matter what.

Our take

  • Basically a new hotend with a dead ceramic heater core. Everything else saw one 20-second heat cycle.
  • Could score: fit a replacement Rapido ceramic heating core and you've got a near-new Rapido Plus for a fraction of the price.
  • Worst case: spares for another Rapido: heatsink, heatbreak, nozzle, fittings and wiring.

Specs (when working)

  • Phaetus Rapido Plus high-flow hotend · up to 350°C
  • Ceramic heating core · fits Voron (Stealthburner) and other V6-style mounts
