A Mod Your Budget Printer Doesn't Need: The Lead Screw Stabilizer

In this video I explain why I don't think you should print and install one of the seven hundred gazillion Z axis lead screw stabilizers available for your ender 3 or similar budget printer on Whateververse. This is just about my opinion on a specific and common 3D printer mod. I don't make anything in this video and I talk the whole damn time. It's a bit of a departure from my other current content. I hope my channel can be a little more informative and maybe bear discussion, as well as make cool stuff and abuse the YouTube free music library. ------------------------------------------------------------- The following is a list of tools and supplies I personally use on a regular basis and may appear in my videos. I own and recommend any items listed bellow. This list is frequently updated so check my latest video for the most up to date version!
