How to adjust the lever position on your Bondtech LGX eXtruder?
The lever on the LGX eXtruder comes with 6 different positions for tensioning to filaments of varying rigidity. To tension the eXtruder to your filament, use the instructions below:
Please Note: The lever should be pushed all the way to the left (from the perspective of facing the LGX eXtruder) before moving the lever position into any of the positions shown below.
Filament made of different materials or made by different manufacturers may require a slightly different setting then those listed below.
Position 0: This is the leftmost position and is used to load or unload filament without pressure from the drive gears.
Position 1: This position is used to work with rigid materials.
Position 2: This position is used to work with semi-flexible materials (Shore hardness of ~95A).
Position 3: This position is used to work with flexible materials (Shore hardness between 85 and 95A).
Position 4: This position is used to work with soft materials (Shore hardness between 75 and 85A).
Position 5: This position is used to work with very soft materials (Shore hardness between 60 and 75A).
