CHPOWER CR10 Supporting Rod Set for Creality CR-10/CR-10S/ CR-10 V2/V3, Upgraded 3D Printer Accessories

Second mod added to my printer and so far so good if I need to adjust it I will but for now it all holds up well

Having to tap increases risk of permanent damage and frustration. Didn’t thing about the bolt so both holes got stripped out. Those holes are useless now and have to figure out alternative. None of the threading is reversed so that tension adjustments can be done. Tutorial video is terrible. Could have been a little more explanatory. All it is, is a video of a guy assembling it in fast forward and music.

The parts fit correctly and install pretty easily. But, as other reviewers have said, the rods should have left-hand threads at one end and right-hand threads at the other so that the length could be adjusted by spinning the rod. Thats how a tie-rod design is supposed to function. I assume they stuck with right-hand threads on both sides to minimize cost. As it is, the only way to adjust the length of the rods is to disconnect them and spin the ends one turn at a time. If they dont right right or the printer isnt perfectly square, you cant do much to fix it.

It works. Installed fine, but they should really have left and right hand threads so you can tension the tubes once installed. You have to screw it all together, check for squareness, adjust accordingly, screw it all together, check for squareness and so forth. If it was right and left hand threads like a turnbuckle this kit would be a 5 star easily. You may as well print the cr-10 threaded rod structure off thingiverse. I did that originally and will use that on my other cr-10 instead of ordering another one. Cheaper and you can tension the rod in place. Happy printing!

Very sturdy and super easy to install. It makes my CR-10 feel 10x more solid. Instructions are very lacking but still easy to install.

Goes together easily, theres no tap in the kit i received. Seems they upgraded and its no longer needed. Use a square when you adjust them!

Im using this with the Fysetc Z Height 2040 aluminum extrusions for my ender 3 pro to have a Z height of 400 mm and with this Z Brace/stabilizer im losing 15 to 20 which isnt a big deal at all since the Z height is more that what i currently need atm. My only wish is that the rods where a single piece and used a right and left hand treads in stead of using 2 right hand threads. Only reason reason being as you tighten the rod youd be pulling the button head screws in and then youd use the jam nuts to secure it. Other than that I enjoy upgrade alot.

Looks great, best I have seen. It just needed instructions. I tapped the first hole without issue but the second hole I did not think about the bolt behind the hole and i broke the tap. So I had to make a bracket. Probably should avoid the tapping and have 4 brackets.

Each part in a bag, each bag in a niche, packed in foam, with a sheet of instructions to make it simple!

Does the job in stiffening the z axis frame although the rods are split in 2 pieces so they are not 100% straight.
