The LGX Shortcut Copperhead Printhead includes a reversible heat sink that can be installed on the left or right hand side of the cold block. The heat sink also includes the hole pattern for attaching 40 40 fans.

Bondtech’s tests suggest a 4010 fan is enough to cool down the cold block and the cold zone of the heat break. even with such small contact surface to the heat sink. In case you have an application where additional cooling is required. try using a 4020 fan or 2 LGX heat sinks. one on each side.
