Phaetus DropEffect neXt G Extreme Gradient Hotend 104NT Version
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ultra-high-flow 104NT hotend for speed-focused 1.75 mm printers. The Phaetus / DropEffect neXt G 104NT uses a ceramic heating plate, V6 nozzle interface, and Dragon-style footprint for high-flow extrusion without forcing a full toolhead redesign.
Why this over a standard hotend?
- Up to 45 mm³/s published flow target with the UHF groove adapter installed.
- Rigid kinematic coupling locks the heater block to reduce bending and help protect the heatbreak during nozzle changes or print strikes.
- V6-style nozzle compatibility keeps nozzle sourcing simple; pair it with our Phaetus copper-plated V6 nozzles or Phaetus hardened-steel V6 nozzles.
- Dragon-style mounting footprint fits many Voron, Creality, and Dragon-compatible toolhead mounts; Prusa use is supported with the included groove-mount adapter.

Fitment and use
Use this for fast PLA, ABS, PETG, and similar high-flow builds where you want Dragon-style mount compatibility and V6 nozzle choice. It is a natural fit for Voron toolheads that support Dragon-style hotends, Prusa MK2/MK3-style groove-mount conversions, and Creality setups with the right adapter.
Gotchas
- This is the 104NT / 280°C+ neXt G version, not the PT1000 Fiber version.
- For sustained abrasive CF/GF work, use an appropriate hardened nozzle; the standard kit includes plated copper nozzles.
- Firmware must be configured for the 104NT thermistor, followed by PID tuning and retraction / pressure-advance tuning after installation.
- Some compact toolheads need adapter or wire-clearance checks because the heater and thermistor leads protrude from the assembly.
Verified buyer note: “This hotend is really awesome… with a very short melt zone… same exact dimensions as the Phaetus Dragon without the UHF.”

Shipping:
US Shipping is via UPS or USPS. The way it is set up shows the least expensive options for standard, priority and express shipping. I can not take special requests for specific carriers at this time.
International shipping is mostly UPS, as I utilize Zonos/UPS integration to tally extremely accurate import and shipping costs.
I require a telephone and email with international orders and you must make yourself available to the carrier or your customs, should they require more information. If you are unreachable and the package is discarded or rerturned, I will not be responsible for rerturning your shipping cost.
If there is a problem with an international order, it is my choice to refund part or all of the order, or send a replacement.
Addresses are verified through Shopify, but the customer is still responsible for inputting their address in the correct format. Any returns or lost shipments, due to incorrectly addressed packages, are the responsibility of the customer.
