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).

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!
A CFS Compatable Cutter Block can be included if needed, please add a note to your order.
All kits will include a link to a detailed installation guide.
Whats Included-
After many requests I have decided to offer a full kit for the RGv3.
Your RetroGlide v3 will ship to you completely ready to install!
It will have-
all heatset inserts in place
2 correct rear stack pins with matching metal shims.
A 20 pack of f695 2RS bearings
2x 2GT 20-Toothed 5mm Bore/6mm Belt Idlers
8x M5x20 DIN912
2x M3x45 DIN912
4x M3x25 DIN912
16x countersunk M3x8 screws
If you need new belts I Highly recomend the Factory Kit for the k1 from creality, available from amazon. This kit contains genuine gates 2gt belts.
Due to parts availability I am limiting the amount of available kits, some orders may take up to 2 weeks to ship as I must source the pins from china currently.
