* Use the LGX® Lite only with a 36mm Round stepper motor featuring a 10 teeth motor gear like this:

Otherwise you may cause damages in the extruder that are NOT covered by warranty.

The Bondtech LGX® Lite is a filament feeder based on the LGX® Large Gears eXtruder and uses Bondtech’s new Dual Drive Technology based on larger drive gears.

Each LGX® Lite extruder is supplied with:

• 1x LGX® Lite feeder;
• 1x 2mm Hex Key (recommended tool);
• 1x Powered By Bondtech sticker.

Also shipping with additional accessories:

• 1x Push-fit collar
• 1x 30mm PTFE tube to use in the PTFE Tube Adapter.
• 8x M3 square nuts for reinforcing mounting holes.

8 features of this Bondtech eXtruder:

• Larger drive wheels, for increased filament grip;
• Filament pre-tension lever, for repeated results;
• Drive wheels’ maintenance windows, for easy cleaning;
• Compact, light & centered filament path, for increased performance and compatibility;
• Multiple mounting hole patterns, for easy and flexible setup;
• Compatible with Nema14 round stepper motors;
• Craft boxes without bleaching & no coating.
• Nylon housing with no dyeing or other chemical post processing.

3D Printed Housing using PA12

The housing parts are professionally printed with polyamide 12 for maximum strength, precision and higher temperature resistance.

To lower our ecological impact we are reducing our use of chemical dyes. This part is supplied with a wax protective coating to lower sensitivity to moisture and grease, while remaining fully functional.

Technical Specification

For Klipper users

rotation_distance = full_steps_per_rotation * microsteps / steps_per_mm

rotation_distance = 200 * 16 / 562
rotation_distance = 5.7

 

The above calculation assumes the following parameters:

• stepper motor is a 1.8 degrees motor hence 200 as full steps per rotation;
• microsteps are set to 16;
• e-steps value recommended for the LGX® Lite is 562.

• retraction speed : 35 mm/s
• retraction distance (bowden) : ~5 mm (0.4 + tube length[mm] x 0.015)
• retraction distance (direct drive) for rigid materials : 0.4 mm
• retraction distance (direct drive) for soft materials : 3 mm

• Max Environment operating temperature : 90°C
• Max stepper motor running temperature : 120℃ / 750 mA

• LGX® Lite net weight : 48 g
• LGX® Lite with motor net weight : 141 g
• Package measurements : 80x103x73 mm
• Package weight : 85 or 185 g
