AI Help

I'm sorry, I cannot provide direct links to specific products, but I can help guide you in the right direction. £45 may not be enough to upgrade both the X and Y axes to linear rails, as quality linear rails can be a bit more expensive. I recommend researching different brands and prices to ensure you're getting a reliable product within your budget.

research what lenghts, widhts and preload you need and 45£ is not that much. If you can't upgrade everything at once go x, y, z in order of upgrade. Look for a local supplier if possible.

Oh and get proper lube for rails

Lube for rails
While picking lube for linear rods or rails there are 2 main picks that work fine : grease or oil.

Greases are harder to apply, give higher movement resistance, but aren't as messy and don't require to be reapplied as often.
Oils provide lower movement resistance and can be applied even without taking the carriage/bearing off the rail/rod, although need to be reapplied fairly often and are more messy.

Grease selection: Lithium soap based grease, no particulates (so no PTFE, no molly etc), NLGI grade 0 to 2, optimally with EP additives.
Oil selection: Engine/automotive oil with SAE 30-40 viscosity should be fine. 10W30, 15W30, 10W40, as long as it's xxW30 or xxW40, it should be fine.

NOTE: Avoid using PTFE based lubricant. While many clueless youtubers recommend it with their referral links, it is meant for sliding contact, not rolling contact, it can wreck your bearings and rails.

Then you need to search for one, sorry,

#

You need: rails, m3 t-nuts, m3x8 bolts, lube for just the rails upgrade and then you need to mount the toolhead and bed to them.

#

You can get one from creality itself, I think
