• How often should I perform maintenance on my Bondtech extruder?

  Bondtech recommends performing maintenance every 6 months, or sooner if the printer averages more than 15 hours of usage per week. Maintenance typically involves cleaning the drive gears and needle bearings with alcohol and lubricating the bearings.

• What are the lever positions on the LGX extruder used for?

  The LGX lever positions adjust the grip for different materials: Position 0 is for loading/unloading; Position 1 is for rigid materials; Position 2 is for semi-flexibles or when more grip is needed; Positions 3 and 4 are for softer flexible materials.

• Does Bondtech provide Klipper configuration settings?

  Yes, Bondtech provides recommended Klipper configurations, such as 'rotation_distance' values, in their user guides. These settings help ensure your extruder steps are calibrated correctly for optimal performance.
