Bondtech LGX Shortcut Copperhead Short Filament Path Print Head

Bondtech LGX Shortcut Copperhead Print Head

• Bondtech LGX Shortcut Copperhead Print Head combines the LGX Large Gears extruder with the LGX Shortcut Copperhead hotend for a compact, high-control printhead.
• The key advantage is a 27mm shorter filament path than standard screw-mount Copperhead setups, improving feeding stability for soft and flexible filaments.
• Designed for broad material capability, stable extrusion, and toolhead layouts where low weight and flexible mounting are important.
• Note: package does not include motor.

Specifications

• Product type: Printhead (extruder + hotend unit)
• Extruder: LGX Large Gears extruder
• Hotend: LGX Shortcut Copperhead hotend (Copperhead-based)

• Copperhead-based hotend: stable thermal performance for consistent extrusion.

Cooling Guidance

• 4010 fan is typically sufficient to cool the cold block and heat break cold zone.
• For higher cooling demand: try a 4020 fan or use two LGX heat sinks (one per side).

Advantages

• Prints a wide range of materials, including soft and flexible
• Enables faster flexible printing with fewer feeding issues
• Small footprint for tight toolhead designs
