CHPOWER Supporting Rod Set for CR-10/CR-10S, Upgraded 3D Printer Accessories for Creality 3D Printer CR-10 300 and CR-10S 300

Parts seem sturdy and it didn't take long to install. THis was the replacement to a DIY set of brackets I'd been using for several years and the quality is there.

I did a DIY support kit on my other printer and decided to avoid all the headache and pay more to get these. This is by far the easiest rods to install. It holds the printer pretty solid so now i can printer super tall prints and not worry about the frame moving. Making the holes were super easy and all the parts fit perfect. I would buy it again if I ever needed another on. It is a little pricer then if you were to do it yourself by buying all the parts but to me it was wroth it because of how easy it was. I would recommend it to others.

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. That's 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 don't right right or the printer isn't perfectly square, you can't do much to fix it.

Would like to give 4.5 stars but since that's not allowed it gets 5 let me start by saying I was going to print my own brackets and make one but honestly the hours and material that go into it would just take way to long. This is an all metal construction including the L brackets very strong. The reason why I would give 4.5 is both ends of the rods are right hand threaded and it should have on end right and one end left hand to just be able to turn the center rod to adjust the push/pull of the gantry. But over all it's a great product and does what it's supposed to add rigidity to your printer.

Did exactly what it was advertised to do, adding stability to the gantry for taller prints. I just created/printed a ~300mm tall bracket having a base no more than 30mm around with 0 defects. I'd half expected it to tip over at some point but, with a healthy amount of glue stick, it stayed vertical and had no discernable layer shift.Beyond the benefits for my prints, I appreciate that this kit did NOT require tapping for new screws and couldn't have been simpler to install. All tools required were included and the braces can be removed without leaving any trace (not that I ever will).I highly recommend this upgrade!
