Useful links, info, and models for using the The LGX™ Large Gears eXtruder with Afterburner...
If you have anything to add/modify/delete hit me up on discord - I'd like to keep this information as useful and current as possible to make LGX life easier for all.

Thanks to `@Nemgrea V2.199 V0.000` and the crew for their efforts designing and testing the mounts, and offering them to the community.
<sub>*Aside: For my own build, I found that my third-party M3x20 screws had a large enough head that the toolhead couldn't mount to the X Carriage assembly properly without a bit more clearance. If you find yourself in this situation, [this mod of @Nemgrea's mount](STLs/lgx_AftB_Mount_Front-extra_clearance.stl) is nearly identical to the one on Discord but with slightly more clearance for the bottom screws. Please try the (semi)official one first before using this mod :)*</sub>
### MGN12/Trident X Carriage
The above Afterburner mounts will work without alteration in the current MGN12/Trident x carriage. However, once the rear mount is installed you can no longer access the linear rail block screws. This mod to the rear mount addresses that.

### Stealthburner
**The Stealthburner beta does not include support for LGX.**
Please don't ask the Stealthburner crew about LGX support, LGX mounts, etc - they have plenty of other Stealthburner things to focus on :)
That said, a number of people are unofficialy running LGX with Stealthburner using the Afterburner mounts.

Besides the mounting parts, most people end up asking about a cable cover. There are a few posted around Discord, but after seeing [Craxoor's PCB cover](https://github.com/craxoor/VoronMods/tree/master/PCB%20Cover) I designed a similar cover from scratch for use with the LGX. Note that this cover *does not* work with the toolhead PCB - it just looks similar.

#### 30mm Mount Screws
I stripped one of the M3x27 low-profile screws that came with the LGX, and have yet to find replacements. To keep going, I made some adjustments to the front mount and blower housing to accommodate standard M3x30 screws.
