FYSETC 3D Printer Motherboard Accessories 0.31 in OD 0.78 in Length Compression Springs Light Load for Creality CR-10 10S S4 Ender 3 Heatbed Springs Bottom Connect Leveling - 10 Pack

I was tired of having to level the bed after each successful print, so I went online and found some suggestions for replacing the bed springs, which I did. WOW. Every four years, I now level the bed. Instead of each print, there will be five. It's only habit for me to level it, and you could probably get away with less. Using a production date of December 3, 2018. Because these springs are much stiffer and slightly longer than the stock springs, they will cause your extruder to hit the glass plate if you have one. You can correct this by adjusting your Z-position. The axis stopper is located on the bottom. While your springs are extra-long, move to the left of the printer to where the bed will stop before hitting your glass plate. tight. Then, by loosening and moving the bed up to the extruder, you can set the desired height.

I can tell these springs will keep the bed in place for a lot longer than standard springs. They look like they'll do the job, and I put them in place. Just keep in mind that once they're in place, you won't be able to use the glass bed. I had them all the way down, and the hot end was still touching the glass when it was bottomed out. I saw no warnings about this, but it's a great product. To make the springs fit, I'll cut them down to about a quarter of their current height.

Before you buy these, measure the length of your stock Ender 3 bed springs, then measure them again before installing them. While these are the right length (for me), some springs I received in another kit were much too long, and I didn't realize it until after a bed leveling issue. To avoid headaches caused by print failures, measure twice. br>br>So far, these springs have been consistently leveling the bed on my Ender 3 Pro; the stock springs are far too mushy/soft for my tastes and, in my opinion, will result in constant bed leveling issues. Despite the fact that these stiffer springs should keep your bed level for longer, I would still double-check your mattress. Every other print, check and calibrate the bed to eliminate many bed adhesion issues, resulting in fewer failed prints, wasted time, and wasted filament.

One day, I returned home to find the print nozzle stuck. After a week of troubleshooting, I discovered that pressing down on the print bed in the corner where the nozzle became stuck caused the bed to drop and then MIGHT pop back up. Because the spring wasn't applying enough force to lift the bed, the screw could get stuck in the bed support bracket. The source of the problem has been discovered! These were installed in place of the factory round wire springs. There is less x/y flex and more reflection force. My prints look a little better than they did when they were new! Please replace the factory springs with these or a similar product.

I've upgraded almost every possible component on my machine, and I can't believe I waited so long to order these, which are without a doubt the best upgrade available. Even though I already have an auto leveling system on my bed, this was such an improvement that I would recommend it to anyone as one of the first things they do to reduce frustration. I've seen other springs on here, but this is the only pair with a reasonable shipping time, and I actually got mine a day before they said they would. I emailed a quick note and received a response within hours, not days, which was well worth it and excellent service. This company and this product are both highly recommended by me, and this is not endorsed in any way, shape, or form. I ordered and paid for my parts, and all I'm doing now is giving credit where credit is due.

These springs are a lot firmer than the ones that came with my Ender 3, but I expect that means fewer bed leveling sessions. I do have a glass bed and have raised my z-height. Stop at around 2 o'clock. 5mm, but on the Ender 3, this is a piece of cake. I didn't have to print anything; all I had to do was loosen the two hex screws and move the z-axis. Retighten the screws and come to a halt.

I'm new to 3d printing, and like any new hobby, I'm immediately looking for ways to improve it. br>br>These springs are designed to replace the Ender3's flimsy bed springs. When you combine these with a glass bed, you've got a printing surface that's very flat and level. br>br>It was a breeze to install. Simply unscrew the thumbdials, raise the bed, remove the old springs, replace them, and re-tighten the thumbdials. br>br>Check the level at all four corners and in the center. I level with paper, but I have a feeler gauge in the garage that I'll use next time. Make sure to go around a few times because the "level" will change as you go. br>br>I've found that using these springs, a glass bed, and some bed adhesive, I can get consistent prints and keep the bed level for multiple prints.

I bought these to replace the Ender 3 Pro's soft stock springs, and I'm very happy with them. These are solidly constructed and fit snugly between the knobs and the bed. I used to have to rebalance the heat bed every few prints, but now it's so tight that it doesn't come unbalanced during printing. br>br>Tip: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "in If the springs are too long and the nozzle continues to hit the bed no matter how much you adjust the adjustment knobs to lower the bed, simply raise the Z level end stop sensor on the side of your printer a mm or two and try again. I had that problem at first, but moving the sensor fixed it, allowing me to get a tight lock on the springs while keeping the bed perfectly level.
