Bondtech LGX ACE Copperhead Printhead

By Bondtech and Slice Engineering

This LGX ACE Copperhead is a special short filament path printhead, co-developed by Bondtech and Slice Engineering, and includes the LGX eXtruder.

It features Slice’s Copperhead bi-metallic heat-break technology and Copper hot block for improved thermal performance.

This LGX based printhead will excel at printing ALL most common materials and especially the soft and flexible.

Engineered To Give More Flow

During the long months of deep testing that preceded the launch of the LGX CHT nozzles, Bondtech discovered that shortening the post-drive filament path generates increased volumetric flow rate capacity. Similar to the LGX Shortcut Copperhead, the LGX ACE Copperhead delivers that same increase when comparing to the full Copperhead hotend.

Designed To Be Cooler

The LGX ACE Copperhead printhead features a monolithic air-cooled cold block and heat sink, designed and manufactured by Bondtech, that engages with the LGX extruder using its interface plug and rests at the front of the extruder. The heat sink includes the hole pattern for attaching 40×40 fans.
Our tests suggest a 4010 fan is enough to cool down the cold block and the cold zone of the heat break, due to the monolithic design of the cold block and heat sink that increases heat transmission and dissipation.
