THIS IS NOW A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. YOU WILL RECEIVE THE STL FILES ALONG WITH A BILL OF MATERIALS AND LINKS TO SUGGESTED SOURCES FOR THE HARDWARE AND PARTS.
PLEASE NOTE: Recently BondTech has released the LGX Lite V2. Unfortunately they removed the ability to mount the LGX lite with a "sandwich" plate like this kit uses. To use this kit you will need to buy the V1 extruder that has the removable plate between the extruder and the motor.
The Creality Ender 3 Max 3D printer is a platform that has a large build volume. However, the standard equipment extruder and hot end could use a lot of improvement to allow the printer to utilize this large build volume quickly and efficiently.
The Creality hot end is not capable of large volumetric flow and cannot compare to aftermarket upgrades such as the Slice Engineering Mosquito Magnum.
Based on my volumetric flow rate tests and my practical experience with this hot end and extruder, the Mosquito Magnum can deliver more than 30mm^3/s ! This can more than halve your printing time.
Therefore if you want to get the most out of your Ender 3 Max and run higher print speeds or larger nozzles, the investment into a higher flow hot end will easily pay for itself in time saved.
The transition from Bowden tube to direct drive (Bondtech LGX Lite) will also increase your filament control by eliminating the 'spring' inherent with a Bowden tube setup. I have noticed much less stringing and oozing when printing in PETG.
This upgrade kit includes all of the 3D printed part files necessary to fit the Bondtech LGX lite and Slice Engineering Mosquito Magnum hot end. Suggested to be printed in carbon fiber PETG material.
What is included in the kit (digital downloads)
- LGX Lite Mount
- Mosquito Magnum Mount
- Fan Guard
- Part Cooling Fan Shroud

Note: You can optionally add a bracket to attach a CR Touch module to the carriage. It is not necessary for this install but will allow you use the auto bed levelling feature of this machine. YOU MUST USE MY BRACKET WITH THIS KIT. THE STANDARD CR TOUCH / BL TOUCH BRACKET WILL RESULT IN AN IMPROPER PROBE OFFSET.
