Maintenance-free 3D printer lead screw assemblies

Building a custom 3D printer requires a number of different components, most important of which is a high-quality component to drive the application. Ball screws, lead screws, or belts and pulleys are typically used for this action, but maintenance-free dryspin lead screw assemblies  are the ideal solution for such an application, achieving quality performance while balancing cost and eliminating external lubrication. igus® offers 3D printer lead screw assemblies in a number of different formats, including ACME, trapezoidal, and our own proprietary dryspin® high helix design for optimized service life and efficiency.
