Components for DIY 3D Printers

Do you need components for a 3D printer that you assemble yourself as a DIY project? We can provide you with everything you need to build your own: drag chains that extend machine runtimes, suitable for the smallest installation spaces and the tightest bend radius. drylin® linear plain bearings that run almost silently and dryspin® lead screw nut for efficient and precise adjustment of the print bed, free from external lubrication and easy to install.

Energy supply made easy with the following components:

Energy chain E2 micro, for small printers without additional cables

Ideal for x-, y- and z-axis
Designed for confined installation spaces
Inner heights of 5 to 15.6mm, variable inner widths
Cable friendly: very smooth contours ensure the best possible cable life
