Improve Your Creality K1 Printer Series with the NEW Linear Rail Gantry Kit

Do you have a Creality K1, K1C, or K1 Max printer and just want to make it better? Improve your Creality printer experience with the new upgrade – the Linear Rail Gantry Kit designed by Bootycall Jones – available for preorder TODAY! 
 
With the stock gantry of the Creality K1 printer series, users quickly discovered issues with the x-axis rod. These issues caused heavier vibration, which led to print flaws, such as VFAs, or vertical fine artifacts – the little ripples found on the surface of a print. Fortunately, Bootycall Jones developed a new linear rail gantry design that seeks to improve the Creality K1 printer series experience for all users. Created to bring your 3D prints to perfection, this mod has the added bonus of making your Creality K1 series printer quieter, faster, and more reliable. With the help from the D3vil Design community, this linear rail gantry mod was tested and has been certified fresh.
 
The new and improved design includes new stepper motors, a linear rail, and a whole new printed part gantry to fix issues with the heavy vibration, mechanical binding, and poor belt alignment. After many months, this gantry design has been finalized and is now ready to be preordered as a kit only found at PeeDee3D.com at the starting price of $120.99.
 
This preorder won't last long. Be one of the first people to massively upgrade their Creality K1 series experience, so order your Linear Rail Gantry Kit while you can!
 
As an additional bonus, PeeDee3D will be providing free upgrades to the LDO-42STH48-250AH (S35) (long shaft only) to early buyers! Don't miss out on this special deal!

I am looking to upgrade my K1 Max with your kit. Can you recommend the best motors to order with the kit? i am not an expert on these by any means and not sure if i would go with the short or long shaft motors. A recommendation on what leveling sensor to go with if there is a better upgrade over stock I would prefer drop in equipment if possible. I am currently using the microswiss hotend.

Thank you,

Mike
