• Product Advantage
  The Dragonfly BMO Hotend has a surface roughness of Ra0.3, allowing for smoother filament movement.

• Supported 3D Printer Models
  The Dragonfly Hotend is compatible with various 3D printer models including BMS, CR-10, CR-10S series, CR-10 MINI, CR-20/CR-20 Pro, Ender 2, Ender 3/Ender 3 V2, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 5/Ender 5 Plus, Enter 5 Pro, and is compatible with all V6 hotend interfaces, Prusa I3 MK3/MK3S, Titan extruders, and BMG extruders.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Insert the bowden collect into the top of the adaptor and stick the collect clip between the bowden collect and the adaptor to fix the bowden collect.
2. Fix the adaptor onto the heat sink.
3. Assemble the heat sink rib through the threaded end at the bottom of the heat break, to the middle of the heat break (Make sure the side of the countersunk hole of the rib is toward the threaded end).
4. Screw the heat break into the side – A of heat block by using 5mm open-ended wrench (Attention: Side – A of heat block should be completely attached to the heat break).
5. Assemble the heat break into the heat sink and adjust its position so that the side plane of the heat sink, which is close to its threaded hole, and the 2 through holes on the heat block, are aligned with the 2 holes on the heat sink.
6. Put two M1.4 screws into the rib and use 1.27 hexagonal bar for locking.
7. Screw two M3 head screws into the correct holes on the B-side of the heat block respectively by using 1.5 hexagonal bar.
8. Put the silicone sock onto the heat block.
9. If a glass ball thermocouple is used, the thermocouple should be first put into a brass tube and the port should be sealed with thermal conducting adhesive, then put it into a heat block and be secured with a jackscrew.

Product Advantage

• The hotend’s core parts are mainly composed of copper alloy, which has the advantage of better heat conduction.
• Overall high temperature resistance up to 500 °C.
• Heat sink and heat break adopt conical surface fitting design, increase heat dissipation.
• Low roughness of heat break.
• The inner hole roughness of the heat break ≤
• Ra0.3, which allow a smoother movement of filament.
• High printing precision, no filament plugging.

1. Insert the bowden collect into the top of the adaptor, and stick the collect clip between the bowden collect and the adaptor to fix the bowden collect.
2. Fix the adaptor onto the heat sink.
3. Assemble the heat sink rib through the threaded end at the bottom of the heat break, to the middle of the heat break (Make sure the side of the countersunk hole of the rib is toward the threaded end).
4. Screw the heat break into the side – A of heat block by using 5mm open – ended wrench (Attention: Side – A of heat block should be completely attached to the heat break).
5. Assemble the heat break into the heat sink and adjust its position, so that the side plane of the heat sink, which close to its threaded hole, and the 2 through holes on the heat block, are align with the 2 holes on the heat sink.
6. Put two M1.4 screws into the rib and use 1.27 hexagonal bar for locking.
7. Screw two M3 head screws into the correct holes on the B – side of the heat block respectively by using 1.5 hexagonal bar.
8. Put the silicone sock onto the heat block.
9. If a glass ball thermocouple is used, the thermocouple should be first put into a brass tube (brass tube as shown below), and the port should be sealed with a thermal conducting adhesive (attached), then put it into a heat block, and be secured with a jackscrew.

Hot – Tightening

1. Hot – tightening is the last mechanical step before Dragonfly Hotend is ready! This is used to sealing the nozzle and the heat break and ensuring no leakage of molten filament during printing;
2. Set the temperature of Hotend at 285°C by using your printer’s control software (or LCD screen), then wait for one minute after the Hotend reaching 285°C, to make all components reach the same temperature;
3. Hold the heat block with a 12.0mm open ended wrench while fastening the nozzle gently, then eventually tightening the nozzle by using a 7.0mm open-ended wrench. This will make the nozzle and the heat break attached tightly and ensure no leakage from the Hotend;
4. The tightening torque of the hot nozzle iS about 2.5 Nm, which is about the pressure exerted by a finger slightly on a small wrench. a

ATTENTION: Do not touch the hotend directly with your hands during heating and within a period of time after heating.
