Phaetus Dragonfly Hotend (BMS)

CoreXY and Voron builders often face heat creep and inconsistent extrusion when using all-metal hotends without optimized heat dissipation, leading to clogs and print failures at high temperatures. Reliable heat management is critical for maintaining print quality across advanced materials.

The Phaetus Dragonfly Hotend (BMS) is an all-metal copper alloy hotend designed for direct mount setups like Voron 2.4 and other CoreXY printers. Its conical heat break and heatsink connection improve heat dissipation, reducing heat creep and enabling stable printing of demanding filaments such as Nylon, PC, and PEEK. This hotend includes a V6 style 0.4mm copper-plated nozzle and silicone sock, making it a versatile upgrade for high-temperature 3D printer hotends in the Voron and Klipper communities.

Why Upgrade?

• Improved heat dissipation reduces heat creep, preventing clogs on high-temp filaments like Nylon and PEEK.
• Direct mount design fits Voron 2.4 and other CoreXY printers, simplifying installation and improving thermal performance.
• Compatible with Klipper firmware setups that demand stable extrusion at elevated temperatures.
• Copper alloy construction enhances thermal conductivity for consistent melt zones and better layer adhesion.
• Includes V6 style nozzle and silicone sock for immediate use with common 3D printer setups.

Best For:

• Voron 2.4 and Trident builders upgrading to a high-performance direct mount hotend.
• CoreXY printer users requiring reliable all-metal hotends for abrasive and high-temp filaments.
• Klipper ecosystem enthusiasts seeking improved thermal management in their hotend assembly.
• Advanced users printing engineering-grade materials like PC and PEEK.
• DIY builders needing a copper alloy hotend with excellent heat conductivity.

Pair With the Right Filament

Maximize the Dragonfly Hotend's thermal capabilities by pairing it with filaments that benefit from stable high-temperature extrusion.

• Nylon Filament — ideal for strong, heat-resistant parts requiring consistent extrusion.
• ABS Filament — benefits from the hotend's improved heat dissipation for reduced warping.
• Polycarbonate (PC) Filament — requires stable high-temp printing enabled by the all-metal copper alloy design.
