Dual Z-Axis Upgrade Kit for Creality Ender 3 Series

When it comes to 3D printing, Makers naturally want the smoothest most precise 3D printer possible. The Ender 3 Series of Creality 3D Printers have been fantastic budget-friendly models that meet a good standard in print quality, but what if it can be better? Simple upgrade kits are wonderous to modify your old favourite 3D printer and give it a new spark of life. Printers like the Ender 3 V2 and Ender 3 V2 Neo are perched on many Maker’s desks, and you may have noticed them wobbling during a particularly long or tall print. These models have only one Z-axis motor and leadscrew, making the X-axis gantry where your hotend sits unstable as it travels up and down. Luckily, this is easily fixed.

Supplied by the manufacturers themselves, this Dual Z-Axis Upgrade Kit for Creality Ender 3 series printers is a full kit that you can install following easy setup steps. A Dual Z-Axis Upgrade gives your printer a second stepper motor and leadscrew. This might seem like a small adjustment, but it has big benefits. The extra power and synchronized coordination means your hotend is guided smoothly as it moves up during your print. That extra reinforcement guards against problems that may arise with only one motor, such as the X gantry becoming off-balanced or wobbly, creating poor quality 3D prints. However, with two Z-axis motors on your Ender 3 series printer, the stability of the X-axis is ensured and makes for an overall more reliable machine.

Creality has ensured that this new Z-Axis Upgrade leadscrew and motor are even better than their original counterparts. The guide rail is smoothly guided with a precision of P3-P7 and position accuracy of 0.01mm. The dust-proof leadscrew is driven by a silent high-speed motor for reliable prints and low noise. Additionally, if you are still a beginner 3D Maker, and aren’t sure whether you will be capable of installing this kit, you can simply contact our Support Desk to ask for help. Just remember to include pictures for any problems that may be unusual or potentially confusing over email, and we will be ready to assist you in your time of need.

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.
