Carriage Y: HUGE improvement switching from 3 to 4 linear bearings! March 07, 2016 09:48AM |
Hi
The original design of the hictop prusa i3 I bought used 3 aluminium pillow linear bearings and 4 mounting points for the heated bed. I switched to 4 linear bearings and 3 mounting points for the bed and the results are amazing! it is so smooth now
(at least compared to my ancient makerbot/3 bearings setup):

I printed the linear bearing pillows because I only had 3 aluminium ones. Also I ziptied the later ones because the alignment was much easier:
What do you think?

My printers:
-Makerbot TOM (#5215, circa 2011), MK6 extruder, ABS 3 mm
-HICTOP Prusa i3 (modded for auto-level, thread screws), ABS/PLA 1.75 mm
