Superior heat break performance     

          The heat break conducts 85% less heat into the heat sink than a typical threaded heat break

          Steep temperature gradient at the heat break, and high tolerances along the filament path allow for better transmission of fine motor movements, resulting in beautiful, higher resolution prints

          Steep temperature gradient at the heat break reduces the likelihood of jamming

          Reduced heat transmission removes the need for a large heat sink

          Composite construction of the heat break allows for the use of materials optimized for heat transfer in each section of the heat break

          Allows for hotend to be mounted with a printed, plastic adapter, without raising safety concernIncreased structural rigidity

 

Increased structural rigidity

         The heat break has been separated from the structural components of the hotend, allowing for a heat break that is not load bearing, and can be very thin walled. This allows for a reliable, rigid exterior structure

         No components are prone to loosening at the mounting points

         Nozzles can be changed with one hand, without grasping the hot block

         In the case of a severe crash, an entirely new hotend is not necessary, parts can be easily swapped out

         

Larger temperature operating range

         Specially-engineered high temperature copper alloy in the hot block will not soften at high temperatures in excess of 550C.

         Threads in the hot block will not deform at high temps, allowing removal of nozzles even after multiple high temp heat cycles

         Nickel plating on the hot block reduces radiative heat loss and prevents galling of threads

         

Modular/adaptable to almost any FFF/FDM printer

          Compact, flat, ambidextrous form factor

          5 different hole mounting patterns to allow for adaptation to virtually any printer

          Printable adapters can be created to diversify mounting options

 

Ideal for multiple extrusion systems

          The Mosquito’s tiny form factor make it ideal for multi extrusion systems. Since the Mosquito® (designed for precision) and Mosquito® Magnum (designed for flow) are the same length, any combination of these hotends can be mounted to one carriage. So a typical multi-extrusion system equipped with Mosquito(s) and Mosquito Magnum(s) can switch between high-flow and high-precision extrusion in the same print. In the blink of an eye. With one-handed nozzle changes

          Small form factor and light mass allows for back-to-back mounting with small nozzle-nozzle distance

 

Lightweight

           Small mass allows for more rapid motion

           Less reinforcement needed for the motors, belts, and drives in the motion system
