Ender 5 S1 Dual Z Rod Mod

dual Z mod for ender  5 S1 

Ive had very bad colour change consistency , so i added my own dual Z 

note parts were made for my machine so it may be different for yours 

Hardware List ;

4X 608 bearings

1X500 mm leadscrew 

1X leadscrew nut

4X M3 x 20mm hex head bolt 

4X M3 nuts

9X M4 x 10mm hex head bolt

9X M4 T nuts

1X M5 x 35mm hex head bolt 

2X GT2 6mm pully wheel 8mm inner diameter

1X GT2 6mm belt 800mm long

if using the stabilizer bearing for the main Z rod you may need to loosen the rod from the motor coupler and extended it , also may need to remove the spring and half of the anti backlash nut I printed everything in Petg but abs or PLA should also work ,   

UPDATE Jan 11 2024

Triple Z kit is currently in development , aiming for the kit to reuse as much parts as possible from the dual Z kit , 

the decision of working on a triple Z kit came from a minor oversight after discovering that its annoying removing the plate when the print is done with the Z rod in the way , also been planning on upgrading to having an auxiliary fan , which 2 options are on the table , option 1 crealitys 3 fan cooling kit or option 2 modifying a vent to mount a 120mm blower used in the creality K1/K1 max

some parts will be updated to the dual Z kit in preparation for the triple Z kit 

UPDATE Jan 13 2024 

ADDED “ bottom bearing 608 NEW ” this is a new holder converting the original bottom bearing using a 6000 bearing to a standard 608 bearing like the rest of the kit 

REMOVED “bottom bearing mount fixed ” 

UPDATE Jan 26 2024

Triple Z kit is finished , still need to get the files uploaded but will be up soon ,been testing for a week and has been very good , many of the Dual Z parts are reused so it should be easy to upgrade from dual Z , Triple Z is also the best option for those who still use the stock screen , Auxiliary fan kit still in development

UPDATE Jan 31 2024 

Triple Z is almost uploaded , busy getting a parts list together , instructions ( dual Z instructions coming soon aswell), and giving attribution to parts ive remixed for this kit to be possible ,though you can check out my remixed cable spine for the Ender 5 S1 https://www.printables.com/model/746235-ender-5-s1-cable-spine-remix
