Ultra Lightweight Aluminum Salad Fork Pins Mod Kit
Couldn't load pickup availability
Aluminum 3 mm captive pin kit for the Salad Fork pin mod. This kit replaces the threaded M3 idler screw axles with smooth, lightweight aluminum pins for the older Salad Fork pin-mod layout.
Why use pins instead of screws?
- Smoother idler axle surface: the official Salad Fork captive-pins mod notes that screws are slightly undersized and rough because of their threads, while 3 mm pins are smooth and closer to true diameter.
- Lower moving mass: aluminum pins cut weight compared with steel pin or screw hardware in the gantry/idler stack.
- Cleaner captured assembly: captive pins are intended to stay retained in the printed pin-mod parts instead of walking out.
Kit contents
- 2 × 3 mm x 22 mm aluminum pins
- 8 × 3 mm x 18 mm aluminum pins
Fitment
For Salad Fork / Printers for Ants builds using the older Salad Fork pin-mod hardware set. Pair it with the Salad Fork Motion Kit or Salad Fork Fasteners Kit when refreshing the gantry hardware.
Check before you build
- Not a full motion kit: bearings, printed pin-mod parts, belts, pulleys, and fasteners are not included.
- Salad Fork v1.1 note: the current official captive-pins BOM calls for 6 × 18 mm, 2 × 22 mm, and 2 × 14 mm pins. This older-style kit does not include 14 mm pins; cut two 18 mm pins down or source 14 mm pins separately if your printed parts require the v1.1 lengths.

Shipping:
US Shipping is via UPS or USPS. The way it is set up shows the least expensive options for standard, priority and express shipping. I can not take special requests for specific carriers at this time.
International shipping is mostly UPS, as I utilize Zonos/UPS integration to tally extremely accurate import and shipping costs.
I require a telephone and email with international orders and you must make yourself available to the carrier or your customs, should they require more information. If you are unreachable and the package is discarded or rerturned, I will not be responsible for rerturning your shipping cost.
If there is a problem with an international order, it is my choice to refund part or all of the order, or send a replacement.
Addresses are verified through Shopify, but the customer is still responsible for inputting their address in the correct format. Any returns or lost shipments, due to incorrectly addressed packages, are the responsibility of the customer.
