Topic: FS: Interest in an easy M5 replacement Mod with no bed modification?

Just got done with mine, and I still have the M5 tap etc to do more 5/16" to M5 0.8 threaded through hole for easy M5 z-rod upgrades. Anybody interested I'll machine you one up for $10 + shipping. 

If there is enough interest I'll setup a product listing on my webstore for an easy transaction. 

Just thought some of you might appreciate it seeing as we don't all have machine shops.

This is a crowd funding thing that I'm running: http://www.gofundme.com/bvi140 It's for pretty selfish reasons tongue

Yes, I am interested. The z-rod on my SD2 has a wobble that does not effect short prints but once they get over 60mm or so, the wobble starts to show some banding. Love to have a straight replacement option. Also, recommend a good source for the M5 rod.

I wasn't entirely sure what you are offering, because I think you are referencing something you'd done before on the forum and posted more info about. Also price cost matters a bit

What would be the procedure?


What you're suggesting sounds cool though smile. I have been wanting to upgrade my z-axis for a while
