Lm8uu X Carriage with Fan Mount for Prusa Mendel
Description
1, I broke at least 2 x-carriages while trying to insert the bearings (I didn't warm up the holders first) So i change the holder design a bit to let the bearings slide in easily, then i added 2 build-in ziptie channels to the holder themselves.
2. Added a belt_socket_offset variable to allow changes to belt-socket alignment. 0 gives Greg's default which fits Prusa's new (felt branch) x-ends nicely. You may want to increase it to something like 10 (guesstimate only) if you are using the original prusa x-ends.

Will this carriage fit on my Reprap Air 2?
I am having some trouble with my current one...
Do we really need the Zippity do da ties ? over tightening the ties can cause warping.
thus misalignment
there's very little friction /force on the bearings.. else why use them?
and the weight of the extruder should hold them in place
and with just a tiny bit of trimming my LM8uu's snapped in just fine.
good und tight fit..

Nice work!
I integrated zip tie slots into greg's LM8UU holders too, but never posted anywhere. Mine have a channel on the back so the zip tie can sit flush as well as the side slots. Gives many more options for mounting extruder!
Shortening the clips is a good idea, is that parametric too? Perhaps we can f
ind some value where they still clip in and hold firmly, but aren't so prone to breaking?

This carriage is completely useless with a Budaschnozzle. Just for the record.
