    • BUY the right ones!
Style: CNC
When I bought my Pro 3018 I bought these at the same time, I just clicked on the link form amazon for amazon. I didn't pay attention that there are 2 version, boy to I feel dumb. Since I brought the wrong kit the guide rods are 10mm too long. I looked at reviews of other people claiming the same thing and some even altering them. So I thought it was a milling mistake and got a replacement. Of course the replacement was wrong too that's when I noticed my idiot mistake. I returned the other ones and bought the correct ones and it was perfect, I have 0 issues putting it together and after using this for a couple of weeks I don't have any complaints so far. ... show more

    • Easy extension for 3018 Prover.
Style: CNC
The install was easy, especially if you are just assembling your 3018 Prover. Once installed my workable area was 262mm (X) x317mm (Y) after moving the 3018 gantry all the way to the front to the Prover. You loose some distance on the 3018 prover due to the limit switches that come with the Prover. Also, the kit does not come with any additional wiring to extend the wires leading to the Y-axis limit switches. This makes wiring the front Y axis limit switches difficult and you loose workable area unless you can extend or replace the default wiring. Too bad Sainsmart didn't include longer Y-axis limit switch extension the kit. You do NOT get anything to extend the work bed of the 3018. I made a larger spoil board that bolts to the aluminum bed using t-nuts,. It works but flexes somewhat the further you get from the aluminum bed. ... show more

    • Fast and easy
Style: CNC
Unlock your Y travel with this upgrade, it's fast and easy. Greatly increase the Y travel on your 3018. Installation was a breeze, the kit came with a longer Y limit switch cable. I purchased this with the Genmitsu T-Slot Table 3040 Extension Aluminum Spoilboard. The difference is night and day. I'm able to work much larger pieces and completely satisfied with the purchase. One reviewer wrote something about having to cut the rails, not sure what they did wrong, but I didn't have to modify anything. I have performed a few other upgrades to the CNC but this one was by far, the most useful. The upgrade with the 3040 extension will take you about 25-30 mins to convert your 3018 to a 3040. If you're looking for more Y axis travel then get this upgrade, you won't be disappointed. ... show more

    • What an Improvement
Style: CNC
I bought the 3018 to start my journey in the CNC world and quickly realized it was just too small to do most of the things I wanted. This upgrade while not ideally as big as I would like, allowed me to add more Y-axis to my 3018 and reduced the need to tile my routing. Definitely worth the money to upgrade the axis without adding hundreds of dollars to go up to the next size CNC. The only complaint I have is that now the spoilboard clicks when moving up and down the y-axis and I have not figured out why. I followed all directions during the upgrade and I can't determine the source of the clicking, but it didn't start until I upgraded. Even with this minor flaw, I would still recommend this product to 3018 owners looking for a little more real estate. ... show more

    • Y axis upgrade for genmitsu 3018 prover (v1.2)
Style: CNC
Was given a 3018 prover and wanted a larger bed, so got this to extend the Y axis. All parts fit perfectly, and there was a replacement cable for the limit switch. I also got the 3040 aluminum spoilboard kit form genmitsu so I installed both at the same time. The extra area is nice to have.

    • Love it but smooth rods too long, had to modify them!!!

The media could not be loaded. Lucky I have a lathe and the rods were only surface hard. I used my lathe and rotary tool attachment with cutoff wheel to remove about 10mm of the rods. They were longer than the new extrusions by this much. The old extrusions and smooth rods were the same length. I also had to drill the rods deeper and thread into them for the M5 screw. Personally I decided to do this mod so I could use the kit right away. But I would strongly advise you check the extrusions length compared to the rods before you start. Ask the seller to check this before you buy this item. If the seller would like to send me a refund equal to the amount of shipping the correct rods I'd update this review. ... show more
