Ender3 V2 Double screw upgrade kit (Dual Z axis upgrade by Creality)

By default, Ender3 V2 has only one lead screw on Z-axis. Adding another screw will make this printer more reliable on higher printing speeds and make that angle between X and Z axis closer to 90°. Dual Z axis upgrade is almost mandatory if any weight is added to hotend (for example direct drive extruder). This package was sent to me by Banggood for a review. Since Cleality manual is only on one page, I decided to create a detailed assembly and wiring video. You can download this Creality manual from:

27:54 That is a very good demonstration of how the duel Z axis motors squares up a print.

@himbary 2 года назад

Excellent instruction, on my new kit from "creativity", aliexpress you don't have to open the mainboard. Just connect the splitter to the existing z wire on the top. I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the info!

@chrisboring3170 Год назад

After watching other videos, this was the one that made the installation work! Good detail, no extra stuff, nice camera views of the parts. Thank you for making this upgrade work for me.

@Pugwash. 3 года назад

I came back to watch again, as my kit arrived from banggood today. Your video was very helpful. I routed the cable for the new stepper back under the bed past the control board, out the back by the PSU and up from the base just below the new motor.

@awilliams07 Год назад

Thanks for the fantastic video. When I opened the dual-Z kit box, I was worried that the installation was going to be much more complex than I initially thought, but your video explained everything perfectly!

@Dennys787 Год назад

Great video! I have been having an issue with my printer where the first layer would be perfect, but the next 4-7 layers are really roughed up. I used a dial gauge and measured that the right side of the gantry was sagging as the z-axis was moved up compared to the left side. There was a difference of as much as 0.46mm! Just bought the dual axis upgrade, will update on how the printer turns out. Update: Wow, I can't say enough how great this tutorial was. Very easy to follow! Printer is working like a charm now. Have been using it for a few week now. Its truly a necessary upgrade

@enaliospearfishing Год назад

@@RH3D I bought it as I went with a direct drive setup and felt the added weight on the gantry could lead to it sagging. So far it has stayed perfectly.

@Kolya_Smirnov 2 года назад

The T-nuts I got in my kit are the kind that you can stick directly in the front of the cross member. When you turn it to tighten it, the nuts self rotate so there's no need to slide them in from the side and bend the screw to get the bracket on.

Thanks for this! Got one of these for my ender 3 v2. The non motorized side on my printer either sagged or was lifted by a fraction of a mm depending on the last direction it last went, screwing up my bed leveling and making it almost impossible to print sometimes, even with a BL touch which seemed to make the problem even worse lol.

Great video, I followed along and installed my own, It was tougher than I imagined but got it done, my z axis cable was hot glued on the original so that was a pain to remove, but kudos for a very well made video. I agree, not really worth buying unless you're adding weight to the x axis gantry, but great learning experience! Look forward to watching more of your videos!

Also, aligning the stepper motor mounting bracket by rotating it so that the bracket is on the table is a great idea! You must be a mechanical engineer, or maybe a carpenter, or maybe you are just one smart bastard!!!

Thanks. Just got V2 to tinker with in addition to my Prusa. I was astound to figure out that machine has so poor Z axis solution. Having bunch of nema's at hand I think I'll do this completely diy and design that bracket myself. I thought wiring was harder and didn't expect motors to be just parallel wired. But it makes sense, very little power needed for Z motors.

Great instruction and review! I just assembled and installed mine. It had weird noise initially when moving. Turned out the guiding nut for lead screw was not at perfect 90 degree angle. I straightened that out and now it works really smooth. So watch out if all parts are really straight and the angle they should be ;)

@fns58 3 года назад

I didn't know the installation was so easy. Thought I was going to have to tinker with Marlin and stepper currents after reading very mixed feelings about dual screws on the Ender faimily. I have noticed a small decrease in quality after switching to a Direct Drive (BMG+Dragon) due to the weight on the print head, so depending on the price I will most likely install this. Thank you!

I also did that a couple weeks ago. BUT(!) You should not Contrain the Rod at the Top and it works much much better with an SKR 1.4 Board that as an Spare Driver Slot to run the second Z Stepper. This way the Gantry can level itself with an BLTouch and the G34 Marlin Command. Since that Day i don't even need Bed Leveling anymore, which i had to use all the time before.

I have an ender 3 v2 for a while and i was looking for upgrades and i see lots of coments about constraining the z rod at the top , well my daily job is large format printing like banners corugated boards textile and soo on and i came across and printed on lots of printing machinery and some of them used screw bearing to lift the print cariage for thicker media and every single one had the bearing supported at the top
