BondTech LGX ACE Mosquito Printhead

From Bondtech and Slice Engineering

The LGX ACE Mosquito Printhead is a dedicated short filament path printhead jointly developed by Bondtech and Slice Engineering that incorporates the LGX extruder.

It features Slice's Mosquito bi-metal heatbreak technology and a copper heater block for improved thermal performance.

The LGX based print head is excellent for printing ALL common materials, especially soft and flexible filaments.

Key features of the LGX ACE Mosquito Printhead

• Easier to cool down and install
• Allows a higher flow rate
• Supports rigid, flexible and soft materials
• Prints flexible and soft materials faster
• It is small, light and yet robust
• Allows changing nozzles with one hand

Engineered to offer higher flow

During the long months of intensive testing leading up to the launch of the LGX CHT nozzles, Bondtech discovered that shortening the post-drive filament path resulted in increased volumetric flow capacity. Similar to the LGX Shortcut Mosquito, the LGX ACE Mosquito offers the same increase compared to the full Mosquito hotend.

Improved cooling performance

The LGX ACE Mosquito print head features a monolithic air-cooled heatsink and cooling block designed and manufactured by Bondtech, which is connected to the LGX extruder via its interface connector and is located at the front of the extruder. The heatsink contains the hole pattern for attaching 40×40 fans.

Bondtech's tests indicate that one 4010 fan is sufficient to cool the heatsink and the cold zone of the heat break because the heatsink and cooling block are monolithic, which increases heat transfer and dissipation.

Compatible Nozzles

The heater block included in this product is compatible with the RepRap nozzle standard. Here is a list of compatible versions:

• Bondtech brass nozzle
• Bondtech nozzle made of coated brass
• Plated brass CHT nozzle
• Slice Engineering Copper Nozzle
• Slice Engineering Vanadium Steel Nozzle (for Abrasive Filaments)

The LGX ACE Mosquito Printhead is not compatible with the following items:

• 3DSolex Matchless 1.75mm nozzles

Contents of delivery

• 1x LGX Large Gears extruder
• 1x LGX ACE Mosquito hotend

This LGX printhead only supports 1.75mm filament. No heater or thermistor is included.
