Why Was The Bondtech Hotend Fix for Raise3D Pro2 Created
Many users contact us to buy extruder upgrades for the Raise3D Pro2.
These frequently repeated reports were evaluated by our Engineering team.
We found out most issues reported come from the hotend, not from the extruder.
The Raise3D Pro2 has a serious heat creep problem.
Print jobs using low Glass Transition Temperature materials are the most affected.
The longer PLA or TPU prints go over 2 hours, the higher the probability of failing due to under-extrusion or even clogging. Prints fail, or the parts made are very fragile.
For this serious problem we designed a simple and effective solution.
- The solution's core is the Copperhead Heat Break, that enhances heat dissipation and separates hot and cold side of the heat break more effectively;
- A new heat block was designed and machined by Bondtech to provide compatibility with the stock heaters, thermistors and silicone socks while enabling the Copperhead heat breaks and wide standard RepRap nozzles;
- To wrap it up, a pair of Bondtech CHT nozzles increase the flow capacity and improve layer adhesion, or enable the possibility of running the nozzles at lower temperatures.

SETUP GUIDE
Setting Up the Bondtech Hotend Fix for Raise3D Pro2
The guide below shows how to install the Bondtech Hotend Fix For Raise3D Pro2.
The whole process is divided into 3 stages. Click each tab below to reveal the steps on each stage. This guide assumes you know how to operate the Pro2. If you don't, please refer to Raise3D Pro2's Documentation.
When we illustrate how to execute a step on extruder 1, the same procedure needs to be mirrored on extruder 2.
Step 1. Unload Filament
Turn your printer ON
Unload filament on both extruders
Cool down hotends before continuing
Step 2. Remove Fan Shrouds
Remove and save these 2 screws
Release the fan and fan shroud
Tuck it away to give you clearance
Step 3. Release The Heaters And Thermistors
Release the cartridges' set screws
Check if the cartridges are loose
Keep them in place for now
Step 4. Remove The Hotends
Release the hotends' holding screws
Hold the hotends
Remove the cartridges from the hotends
Step 5. Separate The Heatsinks
From the stock hotends
Remove the heat sink's set screw
Reserve the heat sinks and set screws
Step 1. Prepare The Hotend Fix For Installation
Push it until it touches the heat sink
Tighten the heat break
Step 2. Cold Tighten The Nozzle
Tighten the nozzle by hand
Use a 1.5Nm Torque Wrench
Tighten the nozzle until it snaps
Step 3. Apply The Heat Sink To The Hotend Fix
Slide the heat sink on the heat break
Tighten the heat sink's set screw
Remove the spacer after
Step 4. Insert Heater and Thermistor
Insert heaters and thermistors
Align the cartridges. Tighten the set screws
Check heater and thermistor's outstanding
Step 5. Install The Hotend Onto The Extruder
Insert the hotend back in place
Tighten the set crew.
Verify the alignment
Using Silicone Socks
Using the Hotend Fix with a silicone sock is more stable and leads to better performance. Still, you have the choice not to use them.
Case you do or you don't, perform a new PID tuning to improve the thermal reaction of the heaters and thermistors.
Case you want to use them, after inserting the first hotend is the time to apply the silicone sock to extruder 1. After placing extruder 2, it gets too tight to add the silicone socks later.
This guide will continue without the silicone socks on. The procedures are exactly the same with or without, but without's easier to show.
Step 1. Hot Tighten The Nozzles
Heat up the nozzle up to 250C
Use a wrench to hold the heatblock
Tighten the nozzle with a torque wrench
Step 2. Z-offset Re-adjustment
Check Raise3D Pro2's Documentation for more detailed information on how to re-adjust the Z-offsets.
Raise the end-switch screw to the top
Home the tool heads on X, Y and Z axis
Extruders will rest above the print bed
Move the tool head to X=20 and Y=20
Lower the end-switch screw
Home Z-axis to lower extruder 1 down
Fine tune the process using the feeler gauge
Lower Extruder 2 to set its Z-offset
Drop hotend 2 on the feeler gauge
Step 3. PID Tuning
Either you will use the Silicone socks or not, before starting using the Pro2, perform a PID tuning on both hotends.
Check Raise3D Pro2's Documentation for more detailed information on how to perform, a PID tuning.
