Belt Driven Z Axis for the Ender 3 and Aquila style printers!

Modify your Ender 3 or Voxelab Aquila to a belt driven z axis! A dual z axis can fight against a sagging hot end, bent lead screw, and banding. This modification should help with increased print speeds and offer stability across the entire X axis. This mod is designed and released by the wonderful Kevin AKA Sam!! Check out their website for a thorough installation guide, then jump to their Discord to ask questions or find out what other customization options they have coming in the future!! https://kevinakasam.com/ KevinAkaSam Discord:   / discord   Kevin also has links to all the kits you can buy or you can check out my parts list below- Motion kit: https://dfh.fm/products/beltdrivenend...

Double and tripled check all these listings because sellers will sometimes change contents without warning: Main drive belts (a single roll to cut): https://amzn.to/3SqKGMI Small closed loop belt (need to buy in bulk): https://amzn.to/3ExUZJb 20Tooth pulleys: https://amzn.to/3IQJAH1 16T pulleys: https://amzn.to/3m5qYKc Lower Bearings: https://amzn.to/3IPjgwH 608 Bearings (common): https://amzn.to/3xQFgB4 Extension Cable I used (check the wiring still!): https://amzn.to/3Zjx5Je The screws are harder to source because you only need a few of certain sizes, and buying online will likely have you buy an entire kit (of sizes). If you have a local hardware store try there first, otherwise this is how I would break it down (That being said it's always good to have a kit of extra screws handy): M5 30mm and 40mm screw kit: https://amzn.to/3KHuOn0 M5 8mm screws: https://amzn.to/3m0J8gg M3 screw/nut/washer assortment: https://amzn.to/3ItkiNv Note: As an Amazon Associate, whenever you purchase through one of my links I earn a small commission at no additional costs to you!
