Befenybay Upgrade Supporting Rod Set for Creality 3D Printer CR-10 300 (300x300x400 mm)

If youre like me, you do 3d printing as a hobby. Either not often, or on and off. Problem becomes, since its mainstream now, innovation is coming faster than new models. I bought a cr-10s right before the pandemic, because I would be working from home and needed a distraction. Well times change and Innovation waits for no one. The baseline function of these bars is simple. You attach them on the top and bottom so that the carriage does not wobble as much, pushing all that movement down, keeping your prints from warping, ringing, and failing. These do their job. Theyre a little confusing to instal, but if you built a 3d printer, you can attach these. All in all, 10/10 no flaws.

Support rods were easy to install. Really stiffens the uprights on 3D printers

These braces are great. Good quality material.

As others have said, this cannot actually operate as a proper turnbuckle due to the thread direction, so the adjustability on length is stepped (1/2 turn of thread pitch) rather than continuously variable. But once everything is sized up, things are pretty solid. Finish is decent not great, but certainly good enough considering the price. My main complaint is that one of the nuts is missing - its an M5 T-nut, so not easily sourced anywhere local. Would be 4.5 stars if it were present, but that speaks a lot to their quality control, and now it will cost me more to make it work properly.

I had originally printed some braces but found it affected my build volume. These don’t as they sit on the outside of the frame. In terms of print quality, honestly I haven’t seen much of a difference in z banding or other tall prints. But it is nice for when you want to move the printer to have a very stiff frame that isn’t flexing.

Really like these frame braces and the anodizing looks great as well! Unfortunately, if you want to install an additional Z axis servo drive to increase the printers precision you will need to remove them as there is no way to keep them installed due to the jack screw top mount bracket needed for the 2nd servo motor install. Brace do increase frame rigidity significantly to the point that you can move the unit by the braces with no ill effects. Well made and reasonably priced.

Creates a more sturdy printer.

These brackets brings quality my models. Very easy to setup.

I didn’t like when I was tightening the screw into one of the aluminum l brackets it stripped right away then the next one I did also stripped right away. Then I had to use epoxy to get it tight and to hold it.

I really like these braces. They are very solid and the quality is better than expected considering they’re Chinese. Only wish they came in other colors. Minus a star for one color only China Red.
