Phaetus Dragon High Flow Hotend UHF All Metal Hotend High Speed Printing 500℃ Hotend High Temperature Extruder for Ender 3 Voron0.1 Voron 2.4 Prusa Mini MK2 MK2S MK3 MK3S

I’ve purchased so many different hot ends over the last 4+ years it's crazy. I purchased this by accident not knowing it wasn’t for my printer, but I bit the bullet and made some modifications and wow. I’m glad I did. I’ve never had a hot end work this well out of the gate. There's like almost no resistance for the filament, it just falls in yet it doesn’t dribble all over the place either and I can turn it up to 300c with absolutely no problems at all. Its about 35mm taller than anything that’s actually made for my machine but i couldn’t be happier with this accidental purchase.

Had it for 2 days now, nonstop printing. Not one clog. Set them retraction settings right folks!

I bought this (along with other items) to use on my Ender 5. I was torn between the Dragonfly and an E3D V6 setup but chose this because it was a direct replacement for the stock hotend assembly and didn’t require any mounting adapters.This little guy grabbed my attention because of the shape of the heat break. The conical shape provides for more surface area than a cylindrical heat break which helps with preventing heat creep.Installation was straight forward except for installing the thermister into the heat block but I managed to get it secured by crimping the end of the thermister sleeve they provide.After installation I simply re-leveled my bed and it was ready to print.I cannot honestly quantify the quality improvement that this hotend provides since I installed it in conjunction with a direct drive mod but I am extremely happy with the price and improvement in quality that the combined mods provided.

I broke a collet and now i have absolutely nowhere to turn to get a recommendation/ specific replacement part.

It is a bit of a shame that the BiQu heater block is oddly shaped. Figured I get this pack of four for future spares.

First let me say this hot end is one of the best on the market for its price range. It’s every actual meaningful upgrade you can do to a hot end packaged into a ready to install product, no searching around for parts trying to peace things together with random Chinese products and waiting months for things to come from Ali express. But sadly I cannot recommend this product to MOST of the ender 3 market.Pros.Best hot end under 100 bucks imo, no mods to the hot end are needed. Think of it as a “fully upgraded” e3d bi metal heat break, copper block, cart thermistor etc.Btw the built in Bowden tube connector is a feature not a con like some reviews said, it shortens the distance from the extruder to the hot end on direct drive.Beautiful construction, like stunning finish for a product in this price range it looks like it came from a custom CNC shop.ConsIt is NOT bolt on compatible with most* ender 3 (and ender 3 compatibles) printers. This hot end is SIGNIFICANTLY shorter than the stock ones used in all the ender 3 off the shelf printers, as well as most aftermarket ones (it’s to date the shortest one I have ever used on an ender) the problem is this causes it to create severe clearance issues with bl touch, fan shrouds, fans, part cooler fans etc being too long for the print head to reach the bed. This can easily be worked around for people who are “makers” modifying the entire assembly around it (shortening abl sensor mounts, lifting fans, custom fan mounts, custom fan shrouds etc) max so to speak of course BUT this product is sold as a direct replacement, it is Not. Adding to this the heat block itself is quite long front to back, meaning I’m almost all applications it interferes with the x carriage back plate and the sock is almost impossible to install without removing the hot end. Meaning a nozzle change requires you to 1 remove the whole fan shroud, 2 remove the hot end, 3 remove the sock and the nozzle, 5 reinstall the new nozzle and the sock, 6 reinstall the hot end, 7 reinstall the fan shroud. 7 step nozzle change on any ender printer if you use the sock. How convenient. Add onto this that the heat sink is not bolted to the heater block making it a huge risk of snapping the (proprietary) heat break.The fix for this is a set of longer screws and some washers to add clearance to the hot end from the carriage. Likely less than a cent worth of parts for the manufacture to include in the product DESIGNED to be compatible with the ender series printers. Now you have a new problem Your hot end fan will now have clearance issues. Again can be worked around but is just simply annoying for a upper end product in this industry being sold as compatible.Overall the problems with this product is that it does work and works amazingly, but it’s being sold as a compatible product for the ender 3 yet requires a complete overhaul of the x carriage accessories to make it work. This is fine if the product is sold this way but this is sold as a compatible product, a huge portion of the ender market is entry level users without any skill or knowledge about the printers, this advertising is just targeting them to sell them a product the do not need, and in many cases will not be able to use without spending significantly more money and time than is needed.

On a scale of stock ender hotend to the Micro-Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit for Creality, the Dragon Fly hot end is an 18! No more leaks at the heat block - heat break junction. Plus, I was able to increase the wattage of the heater cartridge to allow for more flexibility in filaments.I've use this hot end on my 5-Pro and a 2nd hand CR10-Max and with the higher temp heater cartridge, they both can keep up now.

If these are brand new then they are not worth it, idk but this has been a pain to deal with, constant oozing from the screw in of nozzle and between heat sync, tried to unscrew the hotend off but the screw to do so is made of the softest material which bent from trying to do so not i need to figure out how to screw it off from the hotend. If it wasnt srewed on like crazy it would be good, its insane idk why companies have to screw the ever living life outta of stuff like this because now its going to be heck getting it off and then screwing it back on to make sure the nozzle does not leak from the sides and in between the heat sink area.Edit: got the heat break off heat sync and heat block, now filing down the original heat break from ender 3 v2 to fit into this item.

I can't comment on the item because it was returned due to being incomplete and it wouldn't be fair on the manufacturer

Sehr gute hotend, hab weniger Probleme als mit die allmetal von e3d

ottimo
