Features Overview:
Larger Drive Wheels
for increased filament grip
With the large drive wheels of the LGX™, more teeth engage the filament at the same time to increase the grip and eliminate the risk of grinding the filament. This feature, along the custom stepper motor, also prevents damages from force feeding filament to clogged or jammed hotends.
Filament Pre-tension Lever
for repeated results
We replaced the hinge, thumbscrew and spring with a calibrated, 6 preset lever system.
The first position of the lever, all to the left, releases the engagement of the drive wheels with the filament, making filament load and unload very easy.
5 more positions, to the right, give repeatable setups to achieve repeatable results.
The whole solution is compatible with abrasive, rigid, semi-flexible, flexible and soft filaments.
Multi-function Interface Socket
for tool or application quick swap
From Bowden to direct drive and back… quick and easy.
Swapping hotends? Quick and easy.
The interface socket allows you to connect or swap interface plugs that serve different applications or hotends - all without opening the extruder and just 2 screws.
It is also an open door for Future Bondtech or third party plugs to expand the realm of solutions currently available.
Drive Wheels’ Maintenance Windows
for easy cleaning
The extruder looks amazing with the partial reveal of its drive wheels but… more than a gorgeous detail, those windows give access to easy maintenance.
The teeth can be brushed, air can be blow through and dirt can be vacuum cleaned from the outside.
No need to disassemble the extruder to keep it clean.
Compact, light & symmetric design
for increased performance and compatibility
Compact and light.
The smallest AND the lightest, dare to compare.
Symmetric for compatibility.
No more doubts and questions about, what to choose - standard or mirrored?
Simple. There is only one!
Multiple mounting points
for easy and flexible integration
The LGX™ is the first extruder we supply with so many mounting hole patterns.
Bottom, front, back, left and right. There are so many ways to grab it, and to mount something to it.
It is very flexible and will be easy to attach to most frame styles or carriage plates.
A small step for a greener Future
craft boxes without bleaching & no coating
A small step in the right direction.
We are leaving behind the bleached & coated white boxes with color prints to start using craft cardboard and black prints made with ink based on sustainable materials only.
The Bondtech LGX™ boxes are fully recyclable.
