Leadscrew length (Z Axis) for i3 Pro B?

Post by travishauch » Wed Aug 23, 2017 4:38 pm

Hello. Purchased my first printer (Geeetech i3 Pro B) and should be arriving in the next few days. I'd like to upgrade the Z axis leadscrews right away and I'm not sure the length I need to get for the Pro B. My understanding is they are 8mm but what length?

I was looking at these but maybe find some in steel.

Would I need different couplers too?

Thank you!

The length I need to buy to replace the current z axis rods.. such as 250mm, 300mm?

They sell them from 100mm to 600mm lengths.

Just looked in the packing list on the site and it says 300mm.
