CrealityOfficial Ender 3 Linear Rail Kit X-axis Rail Guide MGN12C 12.6" Length with Mount Bracket Support Sprite Pro kit Compatible with Creality Ender3 Ender 3 Pro Ender 3 V2 3D Printers

This was an easy product to install if you’ve got experience tinkering with your Ender. Instructions are the usual tiny print, nebulous, and ambiguous, like all Creality products. This product is VERY ambiguous as to whether it works with the Sprite and/or Sprite Pro Extruder out of the box. I’m here to tell you that it is natively designed to ONLY work with the Pro model as packaged. I have a non-Pro model Sprite on my Ender 3 V2 and was able to make it work only by swapping the hotend cover with the hotend cover of my mothballed Ender 3 Pro which includes the fans. Not a big deal but the non-Pro Sprite is oriented differently than the Pro and you actually need to search Thingiverse for the bracket required to attach to the linear rail. I printed it out of PETG and used some spare hex screws to attach it and everything works perfectly. But isn’t that what working on an Ender is really all about? I have an A1 and an A1 mini now which leaves my E3v2 in the dust, but I’m doing a lot to keep it still relevant, as it still prints in high quality, just slower. I attached photos of the white PETG bracket I printed to adapt the linear rails and the Pro hotend cover and fans. It’s also housing a Spider hotend and cartridge thermistor so with this setup I can reliably print about 3x faster than my old stock setup. Cuts and Orcaslicer work great with the printer but I’m still pushing the limits. It’s really hard for me to let this E3v2 go….

Its been installed for awhile now with no issue. Installation was easy. Great replacement for the stock rail with wheels.

In retrospect I wish I sourced my own rail and parts but when you're a noob this is the kit to go with. It works well, it's just that self sourcing you can get an MGN12H instead of 12c, and a 320mm rail instead of 300 Insures you don't lose any print volume.So I don't fault the kit, but don't get the kit, if that makes sense.

Buying this i was scared for what I would receive, considering Creality and all. I was blown away with the colored paper instructions and how easy it was to install! They gave me lube and it was already prelubed too! Install took less than an hour! Way to go! I've heard that you should probably get y axis over and x axis upgrade, but I digress.

Installed it on my Ender 3 Pro. If you use the stock tensioner, you need to move the rail very close to the x limit switch and install the tensioner with the belt on. It is a very tight fit but it fits.

Great product for the Ender 3 . Overall will purchase again for my other printers.

Smooth operation

Instructions aren't entirely clear but other than that it all went well. It needs to travel and be lubricated enough to eliminate the initial noise but afterwards it's pretty quiet. Everything fit as it should, didn't have to change any values in the printer other than z offset of course.
