Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Last week, I tested out the Aditiva 3D 90-degree conveyor belt conversion kit for Ender-3, and it works great, but it can’t print long objects. As a 90-degree printing angle is the same as a normal 3D printer, with the conveyor belt working as the Y-axis, it’s good for printing multiple objects or looping the same object for batch printing.

Besides the 90-degree kit, they also have a 45-degree kit which costs $320. This kit is designed for printing long objects. I will also use a refurbished Ender-3 from Comgrow which cost $109, and the total cost for this 45-degree conveyor belt printer will cost $429. I would like to thank Aditiva 3D for sending me this kit to review, with that, let’s get started.

Maybe in bad condition, but if you know how to fix a 3D printer and have spare parts to replace by yourself, that could be an amazing deal:
