Ender 3 Support Rod Set Dual Z Structure Accessories Compatible with Creality Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3 V2, Voxelab Aquila 3D Printer

All threads needed to be chased with a tap, one of the eye bolts had misaligned threads and needed to be completely re-threaded. The brackets have pronounced burrs/ridges on most edges. Keeping that in mind, the product does the job.

In the box: the kit comes with all the components required to install a second Z stepper motor and link it to the same wiring and board used by the factory Z stepper motor by using a Y splitter cable. No need to make any setup change to the control board or open up the panel housing the control board. The quality control for the provided components is a 9/10 if installing to the Ender 3 Pro, read further below under “Cons”.Installation: The instructions provided are straight forward and easy to follow, take care with step 11 and 12 to ensure that the printed parts for attaching the power supply to the extrusion frame are fitted securely. The printed support parts were designed for the previous Meanwell power supply with a wider housing. The screw holds do not match up when fitting to the Ender 3 Pro. I would advise that you either fit the support parts or omit using them all together with the aim to replace them by printing better parts.The build guide does not say this, consider using additional tools to ensure that the Ender 3 Pro frame remains square because this will shorten your effort to align the two Z steppers. Lastly I wish that the kit also included grease for the Led screw.Pros: The kit provides all the components required and the installation guide was easy to follow. The led screw thread is cut to the same length as the stock factory part and the stepper motor is a 42-34 type motor. Once fitted the X-gantry alignment improved and this was evident during the first layer prints.Cons: While the kit is very functional their are niggling issues I have to mention. 1) step 11 and 12 requires the power supply to be secured to the printer extrusion frame using 3D printed support parts. The M4*8 screws fail to fit to power supply because of the poor alignment of the screw holes in the printed parts. The rear support part does not align flash with the extrusion frame as I have shown and you are unable to move the power supply further forward because of the collusion with the led screw bracket! 2) I also have to mention that the new location for the power supply connection cable to the main board as instructed in step 13 is a concern because this introduces risk for the cable to get cut or damaged. This issue is mentioned in forums so do your research to ensure you understand how to mitigate and resolve. 3) The new location for the power supply exposes the open connection points of the power supply and this creates a risk of getting electrocuted. The recommended factory location did not leave the wires exposed and the power supply case was also earthed to the extrusion frame, the 3D printed parts do not provide the earthing contact of the power supply to the frame! Please note that this is an additional earthing contact that I would like to retain for safety.Conclusion: I like the kit because it works and the issues highlighted are easily fixed if your do some research and print new housing cases for the power supply to ensure it is safely fitted and there is an earthing contact to the frame. I used the provided support parts for the power supply as a temporary solution to allow me to print suitable parts to replace them.Thanks for reading my review and happy printing!!

Good value and easy to install.

Installed with the help of cable ties and No MOre nails tape. The mounting bracket for the Z axis arm is made slightly offset meaning that the lead screw is at a slight angle preventing smooth movement, the stepper moter had to be fitted about 2mm off to the right (center of printer) for it to be aligned meaning teh motor couldn't be mounted to the frame.

Très bien

Le produit apporte la rigidité à l'ensemble.Le kit utilise les mêmes pièce que d'origine en visserie. Cet achat était dans l'objectif de doubler la motorisation l'axe z. En l'etat, un des axes gêne le passage du fil en entrée de l'extrudeuse boWden. La prochaine étape sera le passage à une tête d'impression direct Drive pour de l'impression avec filaments flexible et le problème sera réglé.

Wenn ihr, wie ich, obere Führungen für die Z-Achsen montiert habt, lassen sich die oberen Winkel nicht wie vorgesehen an der Querstrebe montieren. Der Lochabstand in den Winkeln ist für die Montage an der senkrechten Stütze zu schmal. Ich habe das innere Bohrloch der Winkel um 4 mm aufgefräst und konnte die so montieren. Die Gewinde in den Stangen sind leider nicht gegenläufig, so das sich der Winkel der senkrechten Stützen nicht durch drehen an der Stange justieren lässt. Das macht die Montage etwas fummelig und die Kontermuttern obsolet. Hab's aber dennoch hinbekommen. Daher gut gemeinte 4 Sterne.
