The Bondtech LGX Shortcut Mosquito printhead consists of a hotend and an extruder.
Hotend
With the Bondtech LGX Shortcut Mosquito hotend you can print all kinds of filaments at temperatures up to 450°C. With the LGX Shortcut Mosquito hotend you can process all kinds of 1.75mm filament quickly and easily, but especially the softer and flexible variants. The filament path is 23mm shorter than the standard Mosquito 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.
