Fits regular Ender 3 (and Ender 3 MAX) models not equipped with the ABL sensors.
This listing is for the Ender 3 Adjustable Z end stop assembly as seen in the video.
The advantage to using an adjustable Z end stop is the ease of adjusting your Z offset very quickly and accurately for different filaments, or if your Z height position slowly creeps over time, or inaccuracies of your mechanical switch. By turning the adjustment knob slightly one way or the other, you can change your offset fractions of a millimeter at a time.
The limit switch bracket that comes with the Creality Ender 3 is fixed and once you loosen the bolts holding it, you lose your Z = 0 reference position and making fine adjustments is incredibly frustrating. This will change all of that and make your life so much easier.
Once installed, you will not have to re-level your print bed since you have not touched your bed level, BUT it doesn't hurt to do so as I did in the video just to be sure. Simply move the print head to the middle of the printer and use the classic "paper gauge" and home your z axis a few times while making adjustments to the thumb screw to dial back in your perfect z height.
Your original limit switch is re-used along with the two small Phillips screws that held the PCB to the original bracket.
This process and system *should* work on a variety of Ender 3 clones such as Voxelab Aquila, Tronxy XY-2, Alfawise U30, Longer LK4, Geeetech A10, BIQU B1, etc.
