What are the best x axis parts for a p3steel ? I've seen loads of different designs but am not sure what is the best one to go for I don't want to use cable ties for the liner bearings . I have been thinking about using a lead screw instead of the 5mm threaded rod is it worth the extra expense ?

Thanks Nikki

Do you mean for the z axis? The x axis uses linear bearings and rods with a pulley, not a leadscrew or m5 threaded rod.

Am looking for the best printed parts for the x axis left and right and wondering if it is worth changeing the threaded rod to a lead screw on the z axis up and down

Thanks Nikki
