Why upgrade

Your stock Z is the bottleneck. A ballscrew system fixes it permanently.

Trapezoidal lead screws wear out, drift over time, and require regular re-tramming. The Z-Upgrade replaces them entirely with C7-grade ballscrews — the same class used in CNC machines — paired with a 60:20 motor reduction for extremely high holding torque and ultra-precise layer stepping.

🎯

Perfect layer consistency

Repeatability a lead screw simply can't match over time

🔧

Maintenance-free

Light lube once a year — no re-tramming, no wobble drift

⚡

Faster tilt + mesh

Higher Z acceleration without ball escape risk

🏭

Production-grade

Proven on heavy custom beds & 300→1000mm frames

Ballscrew vs. lead screw

Feature	Z-Upgrade (ballscrew)	Stock lead screw
Layer repeatability	Excellent & consistent over time	Drifts with wear
Z wobble	None — WobbleX integrated	Exists and Increases over time
Flew on load	None — Ballscrew stiffness	Forbid high Z or heavy bed
Maintenance	Annual light lubrication only	Regular re-tramming needed
Motor holding torque	Very high (60:20 reduction)	Standard
Full Z print volume	100% preserved	—

What's new in v4.0 vs. previous versions

↓Parts count reduced from 265+ to under 175 — harmonized hardware, fewer screw types

⚡Direct bolt-in upgrade — no full-disassembly of the printer required

↺BK bearing replaced by FK with angular contact bearing for better axial load handling

〜WobbleX natively integrated — denser arm design for increased rigidity

⚙60:20 motor reduction — high holding torque even when steppers are idle

≡Available in 1204 standard and 1605 heavy-duty ballscrew variants

▪Optional 5mm steel rod arm reinforcement for extreme or oversized builds

✦No supports needed on printed parts — redesigned for simplified DIY assembly
