Belt Driven Z Axis for the Ender 3 and Aquila style printers!
Modify your Ender 3 or Voxelab Aquila to a belt driven z axis! A dual z axis can fight against a sagging hot end, bent lead screw, and banding. This modification should help with increased print speeds and offer stability across the entire X axis. This mod is designed and released by the wonderful Kevin AKA Sam!! Check out their website for a thorough installation guide, then jump to their Discord to ask questions or find out what other customization options they have coming in the future!!

The screws are harder to source because you only need a few of certain sizes, and buying online will likely have you buy an entire kit (of sizes). If you have a local hardware store try there first, otherwise this is how I would break it down (That being said it's always good to have a kit of extra screws handy):
M5 30mm and 40mm screw kit:
