This is a special mod for X-axis Gantry, an advanced upgrade designed to enhance the precision
and print quality of your Creality K1-Max printer.
This modification includes the integration of a
high-quality linear rail MGN12 and fixes some of printer design issues like, replacing original idler
pulley with idler gear, providing significant improvements in motion accuracy and greatly
reducing VFAβs.
It took months of testing, and improving elements design based on 3D scan of K1-Max, to provide an easy way to mod Your printer with just basic tools.
This mod is completely compatibile with stock printer configuration with all of the additional
features like Ai β , LiDAR sensor, stock build volume - theres no need to modify printer.cfg
β no root needed, but recommended due to Improved Input Shaper - separation.
My mod contains Extruder/hotend carriage (compatibile with LiDAR) and custom X-Axis
Blocks. Rest of components stays STOCK.
Simple and effective mod.
In the package You'll get 3 STLs for Left and Right Blocks, and Carriage, what is more , package contains detailed manual of assembly and purchase list to complete the modification and some photographs.
Key components to buy (estimated cost around 60EUR/65USD):
- 1pcs - Linear Rail (MGN12H L= 400mm) with Carriage (Precision/Fitting Class Z1),
- 2pcs - Idler Gear 20T 5mm,
- 4pcs - 3x10x4 Bearing (F623Z),
- 1set - M3x5 Heated Inserts - Voron type,
- Bolts (M3 DIN 7991 and DIN 912, lenghts 16 to 45mm),

It is also possible to change stepper motors with some LDO's such as:
LDO 42STH48-2504MAC (46mm Shaft) - 0,9deg/step

Both are compatibile with STOCK mounts, but some tweaking in printer.cfg will be needed.
