3D Printed Housing using PA12
The housing parts are professionally printed with nylon for maximum strength and precision and higher temperature resistance.
Designed With Flexibles In Mind
The LGX Shortcut Copperhead™ Hotend is a special setup that contains the parts necessary to create, with the LGX eXtruder, a print head that will excel at printing most materials and especially soft and flexible filaments. This set includes a reversible heat sink that can be installed on the left-hand or right-hand side of the cold block. The heat sink also includes a hole pattern for attaching 40×40 fans.
Main Advantages
- Gives access to softer materials
- Enables you to print flexible and soft materials faster
