BondTech LGX Shortcut Mosquito Hotend

Developed for more flexibility

The LGX Shortcut Mosquito is a special hotend for use with the LGX extruder. With the LGX Extruder, it forms a print head that excels at printing most materials and especially soft and flexible filaments.

Designed to be flexible

The LGX Shortcut Mosquito Hotend includes a reversible heatsink that can be attached to the left or right side of the cooling block. The heatsink also includes the hole pattern for attaching 40 x 40mm fans.

Cooling down the heatbreak

Bondtech's tests indicate that one 4010 fan is sufficient to cool the heatsink and cold zone of the heatbreak, even with a small contact area with the heatsink.

If you have an application that requires additional cooling, try a 4020 fan or 2 LGX heatsinks, one on each side.
