BeltDrivenEnder3 VS KlackEnder-Probe

Or you can go for "belted Z" that is available on github by kevinakasam. https://github.com/kevinakasam/BeltDrivenEnder3

This is called Z banding which happens on ender 3 style printers with a single Z rod, you can buy a dual Z axis kit but I would recommend Belted Ender 3 mod instead as it will almost remove it completely and is around the same price, more DIY though.

After that, convert your printer to belt driven. The kit's only $25 and easily the best upgrade you could do on that unit. That link has some example prints, all the .stls, and links where you can get the kit

There are also more radical approaches. KevinAkaSam has a mod that foregoes leadscrews altogether, using a system of belts to drive the Z-axis instead. This is still a Cartesian printer, but since there are no leadscrews, there is no leadscrew wobble. It still uses only one motor (like the belted-leadscrew approach above, though it moves that motor to the top of the printer, so you might need a longer cable for it.

Tbh, I think it's more trouble than it's worth. There are several ways to get dual z without dual steppers, and it's less effort that way. My preferred dual z solution is a belted z axis like kevinakasam's mod. https://github.com/kevinakasam/BeltDrivenEnder3

If you are doing this Ender3 mod, then the settings stay the same.

On my V2, once I finished all the pieces for the belted Z mod, I used the old extruder motor to replace the Z axis motor since is is a bit stronger.

You can feel this if you carefully manually turn the lead screw. You will feel more resistance at some points. There are some simple fixes that you can find on reddit for adjusting the bracket. You can also replace that bracket by going to a belt drive. https://github.com/kevinakasam/BeltDrivenEnder3

Has anyone tried to put one of these https://github.com/kevinakasam/KlackEnder-Probe on an Aquila x2. Would it work? Will I need to change anything?

I'm hoping to find someone who would be willing to print the four files in this github repo (excluding the tolerance test) in ABS. Color does not matter to me. The total filament used should be about 14g, and minimum printer size required is 40x40x25mm.

check this out, should help https://github.com/kevinakasam/KlackEnder-Probe , also have you seen the klicky probe page on the switchwire github?

KevinAkaSam's KlackEnder probe is awesome. I found it to be much more reliable than the BLTouch or CRTouch I'd had previously, and it's more fun to watch. You do need to be able to crimp connectors for a JST plug, but you don't need to solder anything. The fact that it uses electronics at all is kind of scary, but it's a good project if you're just beginning to explore integrating electronics with your builds.

Looks like this: https://github.com/kevinakasam/KlackEnder-Probe

This one is designed for the ender 3 but should work great in the cr-10 as well https://github.com/kevinakasam/KlackEnder-Probe
