Good ...ish

The rod that I have is not within its declared tolerance. My measurements show anywhere between 7.20mm and 7.55mm. And yes, it is not exactly circular, one end shows 7.22 and 7.45 at diametrically opposite directions. Other that that, it is smooth, hard and stiff enough to make it usable. Pretty good for this price,

You get what you pay for

Upon inspection they appear to be toleranced to 0.005" runout. Considering print beds are calibrated to a piece of paper or 0.004" this is mediocre. Recommend spending money on better shafts.

Straight rod 300mm

In a world somewhat full of complaints about the straightness of these rods, Spool3D supplied excellent (straight) rods which I picked up from their location (so no comment available on shipped material). Excellent service, as always.

Lack of precision

I ordered 6 8mm rods in different lenghts, and all of them were slighty bent, wich made then unusable for my machine. 2 of them also had a bit bigger diameter wich caused a lot of friction in the linear bearings.

Rod 8mm

I ordered the rods 8mm 400mm, 450mm and 500mm for my DIY 3D printer. It was well packed. The rods are perfect and the good quality. I recommend the rods from SPOOL3D.

Excellent rods

This fixed my printer, the rods are really well packed and straight as an arrow. Will buy again here if I ever need them again (hopefully not tho!).

Excellent quality rod

Bought a couple different lengths of this stuff, 320mm and 370mm for a scratch built i3 variant, they're really straight and basically indestructible for practical purposes.

Fantastic Steel rod

Bought some of the 320mm stuff for a Prusa build, it's some of the highest quality stuff I've worked with, will definitely be getting more for my next project.

Good product

Ordered 2, one came bent but spool3d fixed that problem straight away. Packaging was solid so it couldn't have been damaged during the shipping process. These were way better than the stock ones I had, which weren't case hardened.

damn near perfect!

the rod arrived almost 100% straight! there was an ever so slight wobble to the rod, but nothing that concerns me. 10000% better than the ones that came with my printer!

Straight as an arrow

Ordered two and they came in well packaged and are pretty darn straight. Will buy again.
