Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow – DDS Extruder Housing for Creality Printers

Bondtech catapulted into the leader boards of Hobbyist Extruder design with the introduction of their high-grip dual drive gear system and we’ve enjoyed their high-end products ever since. While we are more than just satisfied with the amazing capabilities of new 3D Printers like the Creality CR-10 Smart, we simply can’t rest with “good enough” and we know many Makers feel the same way. If you love fun and fantastic upgrades, then you are no stranger to exploring the alluring lists of 3D Printer Upgrades available with shiny enhancements. One of the best Upgrade Kits to pick up are those providing crucial assembly components and mounting plates that make it possible to customise your 3D Printer with new hotends or extruders. That’s why Bontech has provided us with the LGX Lite Arrow, a new housing kit that converts your Bowden Creality Printer into direct drive with a Bondtech LGX Lite DDC Extruder.

The Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow Housing Kit provides the housing and mounting components you need to install your Bondtech LGX Lite Extruder onto your Creality CR-6 Max, CR-6 SE, or CR-10 Smart 3D Printer. Made with a strong PA12 Polyamide plastic, these parts are wax-coated and long-lasting under the movement and heat of your hotend assembly. The Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow is lightweight and insulated with special consideration for the LGX Lite Extruder to sit comfortably within the protective and simply gorgeous housing. Bondtech has taken the stock hotend and fans of the compatible Creality printers into account with their LGX Lite Arrow design, but you could also upgrade your hotend choice with some exciting compatible alternatives from Slice Engineering, listed in the specifications below. Furthermore, the LGX Lite Arrow Housing allows for an adjustable z-position of the fan shroud as you go through the easy setup and assembly process.

We are constantly overjoyed by the online DIY Community who come together to provide help and sources for everyone looking to tinker with 3D Printing and Hobby Electronics. We are eager to see your fantastic new Bondtech Upgrade shared with us.

Please Note: The Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow does not include the Bondtech LGX Lite DDS Extruder itself, but provides the necessary mounting and housing parts needed to install it onto the compatible Creality Printers. Please ensure to acquire an LGX Lite Extruder for use with this kit.

Typical Applications for Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow Extruder Housing Kit:

The Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow is a housing kit designed only for the Bondtech LGX Lite Direct Drive Extruder. While the LGX Lite Extruder itself is not included in this Kit, the LGX Lite Arrow contains a mounting and housing set designed for converting your Bowden-style printer into direct drive. Typically, the common practice when upgrading your printer’s hotend assembly like this is for Makers to 3D Print necessary mounting parts first. That process can take time and effort, not to mention frustrations when prints fail or are not printed with strong enough materials. However, the Bondtech LGX Lite Arrow Kit gives you everything you need for installing the awesome LGX Lite onto your Creality CR-6 SE, CR-6 Max, or CR-10 Smart 3D Printer. Save your time and enjoy a strong Polyamide housing for your LGX Lite Extruder.
