Fix what creality started, utilizing the linear rods that the machine was designed around. RetroGlide by RetroD takes that concept and fixes every aspect of it. Producing super clean input shaping graphs, allowing for insanely faster accelerations while maintaining clean prints. Nothing even comes close, linear rail systems dont hold a candle to what you can reach with RetroGlide V3, in beta testing we commonly saw 50k accelerations and even many users were able to push beyond that to insane 100k accelerations! All of this on stock motors and power, just by upgrading to the RetroGlide Gantry. So what is the purpose of RetroGlide? The point of this gantry is to correct the skew and stiffness of the motion system, giving it the love it should have gotten from the factory. RetroD has also moved the tensioners to the front, allowing for a better position on the back pulleys for better grip on the belts, allowing for better accelerations, and making it way easier to tension the belts. What makes v3 different? In V3 RetroD has ditched the factory idlers and pulleys, instead opting to use fr695 flanged bearings. FR695s are the same bearings you will find in the Voron project printers, and have allowed these insane accelerations that RetroGlide V3 is capable of. Further RetroD implemented all the improvements found form versions 1.0 2 and 2.1, from tweaking hole sizes to using heat set inserts for mounting the components(something even creality did not do). Link to the cults page if you would like to purchase and print this for yourself- https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/retro-glide-v3-flange-bearing-gantry-for-the-creality-k1-series Available options. When you order you can specify if you want a single color or with a dual color accented print, if you decide on dual colors I highly recomend very contrasting colors to make the accent parts pop! All kits will include the CFS compatability parts to make your cutter work. All kits will include a link to a detailed installation guide. Your RetroGlide v3 will ship to you completely ready to install. It will have all heatset inserts in place and will include 2 rear stack pins with matching metal shims. All you will need to provide is your choice of fr695 bearings x20, 2GT 20-Toothed 5mm Bore/6mm Belt Idlers x2, M5x20 SHCS x8, M3x45 SHCS x2, M3x25 SHCS x4. I dont include these parts to shave the shipping cost down, as well the bearings especially are very much a personal choice. I recomend hybrid ceramic such as beserker from West3d but any quality bearings will do.
