Well I broke my heatbreak, I guess I am just going all in on a Dragon - what do I need?
I was taking apart my printhead to try and diagnose underextrusion issues and the heatbreak broke off... It is pretty much welded into the heatblock and the screws on the other side stripped when I tried to undo them. That sucks. So, might as well toss a Dragon on there
So far I bought:
- Mount printed in nylon printed by Sculpteo, plus accompanying brass inserts and other parts
- New thermistor
- Dragon hotend
Anything else I should be thinking about while putting on the new heatblock? Any parts I am missing?

I would not have bought the high flow version, plenty of reports of issues with it. But I hope it works out for you. I run the standard flow version on two Minis and two Mk3S no problems at all.
Nothing else to think about. You picked the right mount 🙂 🙂. Just make sure you add this line to the startup code to make sure the prime line stays on the sheet.
M206 Y-0.625; Added to keep prime line on sheet for Dragon hotend
