[Gulfcoast Robotics] Modular Y Carriage Plate Upgrade for Ender 3 and Ender 3 PRO 3D Printers (3-Point Leveling Adjustment)

Bed leveling on this thing is dead simple. It makes MUCH more sense and I can get my bed perfectly leveled in one pass instead of having to do multiple passes with the 4 point system. It is just faster, easier, and more logical.Install is straightforward, just be sure to have the carriage oriented correctly. It is very easy to have it flipped over in one axis and not notice that it is wrong.My only gripe with this is that it does not come with the correct length M4x30 countersunk screw (it comes with a M4x15 countersunk, which is just too short). The one that ships with it is far too short. I don't think that is worth knocking off a star for because i was able to make it work still with the other nuts and bolts I have, and the amount of time and aggravation this thing saved me, I can easily forgive that.

This is a very well thought out product. You can tell the creator put a lot of thought into this, and continues to update the design as the printers change (i.e. Ender 3 vs Ender 3 Pro)I found it super easy to install and the three point leveling is much easier then the stock 4 point leveling.

This might be the single most important "first upgrade" for an Ender 3 after a fan cover. Out of the box my Ender was difficult to level correctly, all 4 corners could never seem to get right and keep the middle in the right place as well. While it was good enough to get some prints going, it was always frustrating any time I needed to re-level. Once installed, this makes the whole leveling process a lot easier. You still have to take the time to level, and do it right, but the fact that every adjustment keeps you in a plane makes this a lot easier. That said, consider moving the two (or all 3 if in the center) closest knobs to each leveling point, that will help adjusting to 3 point instead of 4 point leveling. There are no printed instructions with the product, and the manufacturer linked fan instructions are good enough, but it would be nice to have better, clearer instructions with better pictures. Additionally it would have been nice if it came with lock nuts if not for all 3 main leveling screws, then at least for the center one which is in accessible from the top without removing the whole bed, and thus highly benefits from a lock nut holding the screw in place so it doesn't turn while leveling.

This kit is simple to install, has high-quality components, comes with everything you need, instructions are clear, and THE THING WORKS! Bed-leveling is easy now... and solid. Great bang for the buck.

The plate itself seems to be cut and tapped well. That's the end of the nice things to say. This is not worth the asking price of $30...it's worth $20 at best.Installed this a couple nights ago. Not a difficult installation, swapping out the original carrier plate. The instructions sent on a little sticker point you to use the URL given to get build info but then sends you to an article that looks to be composed and written by someone not only using a completely different piece, but seems to only vaguely know how this works well enough to describe things correctly.The left side adjustment is fine, works like the OEM piece did. The other side where there is only one adjustment post/wheel will not lower enough to clear the nozzle, is higher than both of the others on the opposite side. I'm working with a Facebook group for Ender3/Pro users to fix because support for this is non-existent.

This feels like a great quality product but if your print bed has even the slightest warp to it the aluminum plate is too flimsy to correct it, even though it’s 1/8” and even if you use it in the optional 4 point leveling setup. And my bed has a little warp in it so it’s useless to me at the moment.

I would definitely buy this carriage again. Very nice finish and flat as can be. My stock ender carriage was not even close to flat. This kit makes bed leveling a piece of cake. Easy to follow instructions are on there site. Fit and finish are top notch. The only thing I would change is it would have been nice to have printed instructions in the package. Thank you gulf coast robotics for an excellent product.

The instructions are for the Ender 3, but are very straight forward. The product had holes cut for the Ender 3 Pro and it wasn't complicated to figure out the correct orientation. I also, combined this upgrade with a set of stiff compression springs.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KVMJWZM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1Wow! What a difference. One round of "No Print Bed Leveling" and then "5 Point Bed Level". I highly recommend this product as a must upgrade for the Creality Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro. I'm very please with difference it has made with the quality of my prints.The prints in the photos were printed with 3DSolutech Real Grey with .12mm Layer Height at 60mm speed.
