Ender 3 S1 Linear Rod Motion System

Inspired by Ian Shirk's linear rod mod for the Y axis, I decided to take the idea and scale it to the X and Z axis's. This was also inspired by the likes of the Prusa MK3, MK4, and such printers. The end result is a modification that makes the Ender 3 S1 stronger, more resilient, more accurate printer. This mode is also affordable roughly costing $40-$50 depending on where you source your hardware. 

WARNING!

This modification necessitates taking apart your printer.

I am not responsible for any damage done to your printer.

By making this mod you are accepting all risks associated.

I have attached a pdf in the files section, containing everything you will need and need to know for this project. If you have any questions, just leave a comment.

If you do make this mod, please give feedback e.g comments, concerns, advice, ideas, etc. 

Finally, this took me a long time to develop and make, so please leave a like if you can.
