The LGX Pro Metal HT Extruder is engineered for industrial and high-temperature applications, featuring a steel drivetrain, aluminum housing, and an optimized large gear design that delivers higher feed rates and increased pushing force. This full-metal extruder combines robust construction with refined simplicity, providing the reliability and performance demanded by professional production environments. In comparison to the LGX Pro Metal, the HT version has more thermal resistance (up to 140°C max working temperature).
Features include:
- Aluminum housing
- Strong 30 mm stepper motor
- Larger drive wheels, for increased filament grip
- New filament pre-tension lever for repeated results
- Multi-function interface socket, for tool or application quick swap
- Compact, light & symmetric design, for increased performance and compatibility
- Multiple mounting hole patterns, for easy and flexible setups
- Full Hardened Steel Drive Train
- Aluminum Interface Plug
- Protection against dust or particle-saturated industrial environments
IMPORTANT: If adding any variant with a Mosquito Magnum+® Hotend, you are acknowledging the risks shown here.
Additionally, if choosing the LGX ACE Magnum+ Hotend or the LGX PRO ACE Magnum+ Hotend, the following tools are not included and will be needed to assemble the hotend:
- 3 Nm Torque Wrench with Deep Well 9 mm Socket
- A standard 9 mm wrench can be used
- 0.15 Nm Torque Wrench with 1.5 mm hex bit
- A standard 1.5 mm hex key which is included can be used
- 1.5 Nm Torque Wrench with 6 mm hex socket
- Vise

Other Important Information
1) This extruder does not allow a mount plate between the motor and the extruder.
2) Use at most 1A (RMS) of current to feed the stepper motor.
- LGX PRO Metal HT (1.75 mm / 2.85 mm)
- Optional ACE Hotend
- Custom Nema17 30 mm Pancake Stepper Motor
- Metal Push-in fitting
- M7 4 mm (1.75 mm Extruder)
- M7 6 mm (2.85 mm Extruder)
- 2 mm Hex Key (recommended tool)
- 4x M3x23 mm Stud (with 5 mm Hex & M3x4 threads)*
- 30 mm PTFE Tube for the Direct Drive Interface Plug
* These studs are used to replace the 4 screws of the stepper motor for additional mounting points. Make sure not to use too much torque to tighten the studs as the stepper motor threads are delicate & made of aluminum. It is recommended to use finger force only.
