For all the time spent staring at our 3D printers, Makers naturally have the urge to build them into the best machines they could be. Many begin with a new hotend upgrade, which propels your 3D Printer’s potential. With a highly advanced all-metal hotend, like the Phaetus Dragonfly, you can print a greater range of 3D filaments at up to 500°C with incredible smooth flow rates. The developers at Phaetus created the new Dragonfly hotend with a conical surface design and greater print efficiency than before!
The Phaetus Dragonfly BMO Hotend is designed for mounting on any 3D printer with your titan or BMG extruders. With a focus on durability and better heat dissipation, the DragonFly Hotend is mainly composed of copper alloy materials. The heat sink and heat break are designed with conical surface fitting which means they are closely fitted into place to increase the contact area of the heat dissipation. These careful design choices allow the Phaetus team to boast of a greatly reduced chance for filament clogging within your hotend. With some tweaking to get all your settings just right, you can smoothly print almost all types of filaments, including PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, PEEK, PEI, and other abrasive filaments like woodfill.
Arriving in a smart blue colour, this Phaetus Dragonfly BMO Hotend is classified with a standard flow rate, which is still higher than many stock hotends on the market. Within the heat break, the filament will smoothly freed through a thin inner hole of only Ra0.3 roughness. The Phaetus Dragonfly Hotend is known in the Maker community for its lightweight and high-quality printing!
Please Note: this is the BMO version of the Phaetus Dragonfly Hotend, which means it is not designed for a direct mount. Rather, this hotend is compatible with the 3D extruders below. If you prefer to install you hotend on direct mount, check out our Phaetus Dragonfly BMS Hotend.

Lastly, the video below explains the key features of the Phaetus Dragonfly BMO Hotend. Nero 3D on YouTube gives his thoughts on the Phaetus Dragonfly:
Phaetus is a brand with an unrelenting focus on creating some of the highest quality 3D printing upgrades and equipment on the market. They have pioneered many fantastic designs that reimagined the hotend as we know it. Resembling the head of a sprinkler, Phaetus’ ingenious Dragon Hotend solved many of the thermal efficiency problems of other models and introduced easy one-handed nozzle interchangeability. But with the wind firmly caught in their sales, Phaetus is not stopping there!
The company began with a goal to plow into the pain points of 3D industry and come up with innovative solutions. Phaetus established a strong research and development team who are a driving force in their field. The Phaetus brand is, in fact, young in the 3D world with their first hotend showcased in 2019. But that kickoff quickly blazed into a fire as Makers recognized the ingenuity of their design. The company shot into the development of newer high-end hotends that met the needs of DIY enthusiasts and professionals in the 3D industry. The Dragon Hotend expanded into an entire range, and new models like the Dragonfly and Rapido addressed specializations into lightweight and speed. Naturally, Phaetus created nozzles to keep up with the demands of their new demanding inventions. Even dipping into an advanced range of high-temperature 3D Filaments. We are definitely invested to see where Phaetus goes next.
Hobbyist Makers and industrial professionals alike can fully appreciate all that Phaetus brings to the table. Maintaining a wide compatibility with many 3D printers, Phaetus products are simply stuffed with strength and great mechanical properties on top of ground-breaking designs that innovate 3D technology. If you love the idea of upgrading 3D printers to a premium standard of greater functionality, you will not be disappointed by the excellent quality and fun upgrades that Phaetus has to offer.
