The Bondtech LGX Shortcut Copperhead printhead consists of a hotend and an extruder.
Hotend
With the hotend you can print all kinds of filaments at temperatures up to 450°C. With the LGX Shortcut Copperhead hotend (previous name: LGX For Flexibles Set) you can process all kinds of 1.75mm filament quickly and easily, but especially the softer and flexible variants. The filament path is 27mm shorter than the standard Copperhead screw-on hotend. This hotend keeps the print head small and light.
The hotend is easy to assemble in various ways. The reversible cooling basin can be attached to the left or right side of the cooling block. The product is designed so that you can attach a 40mm x 40mm fan to it.
This pack contains:
- Copperhead™ LGX™ Heatbreak
- Copperhead™ Hot Block
- Black anodized LGX™ aluminum cooling basin
- Air-cooled black anodized LGX™ aluminum heat sink

Note: The nozzle is not included.
Extruder
The LGX Large Gears eXtruder is Bondtech's first 1.75mm filament feeder with the new Dual Drive technology. This item is designed to be compact, lightweight and symmetrical for better performance and compatibility. You install and clean it easily. The filament preload lever ensures consistent results. Thanks to the larger drive gears, you have more grip on the filament.
The multifunctional interface connection allows you to quickly change tools or applications. The housing is professionally 3D printed with nylon, for maximum strength, precision and higher temperature resistance. In the context of sustainability, no bleaching agents and coatings have been used.
