Dual Z-Axis + Filament Runout Sensor Upgrade Kit for Creality CR-10

If you’ve been looking for a great way to improve the quality and stability of your Creality CR-10 3D Printer, one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to achieve this is with the Dual Z-Axis + Filament Sensor Upgrade Kit, designed specifically for the Creality CR-10 to not only improve quality and stability, but also to enhance the convenience for the user as well. The installation of this kit is relatively simple and easy, and can be found in a helpful Youtube Video featured at the bottom of this description. Bear in mind, however, that this kit also includes the upgraded Creality3D V2.1 motherboard, although the cable that comes with this kit allows for it to be installed on either motherboard - allowing you to essentially upgrade your Creality CR-10 3D printer to the higher-spec' Creality CR-10S.

After installation, all you need to do is run the filament through the sensor before running it through the Bowden tube. This will allow the sensor to identify when the filament has run out before it’s too late, which can help a lot when you are doing long prints that require a lot of 3D Printer Filament, especially if you plan on leaving your printer running overnight. It will ensure that your printer doesn’t continue to try print without plastic, which could lead to Hotend Assembly damage and failed prints. Instead, the sensor will tell the machine to stop, and will pause the print so that you can continue precisely from where you left off when you get back in the morning.

The extra z-axis leadscrew will also help to improve 3D Printing quality, as the printer will be more stable and secure, while relying on two leadscrews and motors working together for improved accuracy, rather than relying on a single side. This also leads to less wobbling and accuracy reduction when the extruder is moving up and down, which can also result in substantially reduced maintenance as it will continue to be highly accurate for longer.

Typical Applications for the Dual Z-Axis + Filament Sensor Upgrade Kit for Creality CR-10:

The Dual Z-Axis + Filament Sensor Upgrade Kit for Creality CR-10 is an easy and cost-efficient way of improving not only stability and printing accuracy of the printer, but also convenience for you. It can save you from failed prints, while ensuring that the successful prints are achieved with pinpoint accuracy, all without breaking the bank.

However, if you are interested in this kit but don’t feel the need to get the filament runout sensor with the dual z-axis leadscrews, check out our standard Dual Z-Axis Upgrade Kit. It features almost everything that this kit does, but of course without the sensor included. This is ideal for people who don’t like to leave their printer unattended, or for anyone who enjoys smaller, quicker prints compared to larger, more time-consuming prints that may take more than just a few hours.

Installation Instructions:

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
