Daedalus 3018 CNC Upgrade Kit, for X-Axis Upgrade & Y-Axis Extension Compatible with Most 3018 CNC Router Machine

My biggest point of contention with the 3018 was its obnoxiously "just smaller than A4" work area. It prevented a lot of projects from happening simply because a lot of downloaded plans were all formatted to fit an A4 sheet. This kit solves this problem.Easy and straightforward assembly with the included instructions, no missing parts, and everything fit snug and square.The only remark I can make is that it does raise the worked up a few mm. Not the end of the world, but my gantry is modified from the stock 3018 gantry, and this caused a clearance issue with my z-axis. It was a manageable fix and an isolated situation, but something to keep in mind.

It would be nice if the instructions were more thorough. The kit was complete and easy to put together, it just took me some time though.

I was pleased that everything was a direct replacement for the rods and frame on a 3018pro. Everything was machined very well and fit perfectly. It came with brass nuts and springs that I didn't bother to use. I just used the original ones already in place. I was impressed that the knobs were knurled. The knobs certainly make it easier to position the both the Y and X axis. Be sure to watch the video included on the Amazon product page as THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED. If you assemble your machine in the first place, you probably won't really need instructions. Assembly took me about an hour.

4.5 starsI purchased this for my Genmitsu. It was not a direct fit but with some minor modifications to the Genmitsu parts, and assembly I made it work. None of that is Daedalus fault.It's a hair cheaper then the competitor, same quality, and comes with a little more. Flexible couplers, Lead screw adjustment caps, and a longer Y Axis lead screw for use with adjustment cap.I do not believe in 5 stars for just a good product, and neither should you. A product that does what is says at the average price is an an average product, That's 3 stars and there's nothing wrong with that. If everything is 5 star, then there's nothing actually great out there!1 Terrible, immediate return2 Works, but is disappointing in more then one way3 Works as described and is priced fairly4 Either works better then described, or Works as described but at a better price.5 Combination of works better then described, has extra value/features, Top tier product, amazing value for money.

Awesome kit extended My 3018 pro to 12”x 12”The couplers you get with these things are awesome they’re cut almost like a spring so if it jams up a little bit it has some give to it, it doesn’t ruin your carve as easy, the knobs are a great improvement , saved my hands from getting dirty trying to turn the screw by hand or having to boot up the program or offline controller to set zero point or just to move it to set the clamps.Also my x axis screw that originally came with my 3018 wasn’t quite true and would sometimes bind and throw off my carve if my gantry was too tight, the new 8mm X and Y Axis screws were true and work great with all gantry screws fully tightened.A+ would recommend if your thinking of upgrading do it for sure you will be glad you did!

Does not fit Sainsmart 3018 MX3. This only fits 3018s without the recess for the Y axis guide rails (450mm). For 3018 MX3 or others with the recess you need 460mm guide rails if the extrusions are 450mm. Also be advised that extending the Y axis makes it more flexible and prone to chatter and inaccuracies. After seeing this I decided that if I am going to extend the Y axis I would invest in a different type of guide rails that are sturdier.

All parts came in a neatly packaged box well protected from damage, easy to follow directions great investment to start with larger projects

Pros:1) 1:1 swapout2) excellent value for changing up to more than 2x the size3) nice addition to have the knobs4) makes me wish I had done it soonerCons:1) makes you REALLY want a proper 3040 bed instead of a frankenbed.2) just a note: measure your initial spacing from the rear of the frame to the gantry BEFORE disassembly so you can replicate it

Excelente producto y fácil de instalar

Whilst I haven't used the kit yet, it looks just the job.
