BondTech LGX for the MK3S & Mosquito

Direct drive upgrade

This LGX upgrade kit replaces the standard direct drive extruder. It's a very intuitive and easy to install upgrade kit with the extruder facing the X-Carriage, reducing the distance between the nozzle and the X-axis.

Due to the large drive wheels, the Bondtech extruder has a very strong filament handle.
