Phaetus Dragon Hotend ST (standard flow) - Color: Blue

Phaetus Dragon ST Hotend - Standard Flow

Phaetus Dragon ST is one of the most popular hotends on the current market for both hobby and professional 3D printing. This model features a standard flow, offering an optimal balance between printing speed and print quality. Thanks to its all-metal construction and high temperature resistance up to 500°C, it is compatible with a wide range of filaments, including technical materials.

The Dragon ST hotend is designed to provide high stability and thermal insulation, which minimises heat loss and ensures smooth filament flow. This makes it an ideal choice for users who want to achieve precise and high-quality prints without the risk of clogging or overheating.

Key Features:

• High Temperature Resistance: Up to 500°C thanks to copper alloy construction, ensuring rapid heating and efficient heat dissipation.
• Heatbreak Thermal Insulation: Ultra-thin wall heatbreak (0.1 mm) provides excellent thermal insulation, minimising heat transfer to the heatsink.
• Compact and Robust Construction: Reinforced supporting structure ensures the hotend withstands external forces without damage.
• Compatibility: The hotend is compatible with V6 interface, allowing easy integration into printers like Prusa i3 MK3/MK3S or Titan and BMG extruders.

Technical Specifications:

• Maximum Temperature: 500°C
• Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm
• Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mm (replaceable)
• Dimensions: 26.3 mm x 19.0 mm x 45.5 mm
• Weight: 50 g
• Material: Plated copper for better thermal conductivity
• Compatibility: V6 interface (Prusa i3 MK3/MK3S, Titan Extruder, BMG Extruder)

Compatible Filaments:

Phaetus Dragon ST supports a wide range of filaments:

• PLA
• ABS/ASA
• PETG/PCTG/CPE
• TPU
• Nylon (PA)
• PC

Note on Composite Materials:

We do not recommend this hotend for printing composite materials containing abrasive particles (e.g., carbon fibres or metal particles). The thin-walled heatbreak (0.1 mm) could wear through with prolonged use of these materials. If you plan to print larger quantities of composite filaments, we recommend using a hotend with a more robust heatbreak. For printing these materials, it is also necessary to use a hardened nozzle and ideally hardened extruder gears as well.

Advantages Over Other Hotends:

Compared to common hotends like E3D V6, the Phaetus Dragon ST offers higher flow rates (up to 14-16 mm³/s), enabling faster printing without compromising quality. Thanks to its robust construction, it also better withstands mechanical stress and provides greater flexibility when printing demanding materials.

This hotend is recommended by the Voron community and is an ideal choice for users seeking a reliable solution for long-term, high-performance printing.
