In order to reduce z wobble I wanted to move the z rod bushings further apart. By putting a bushing holder on the bottom clamp plate the spacing between the bushings is more than tripled. This should reduce the impact of any play in the bushings. I basically took the bushing mount from the original idler mount part and spliced it onto the clamping plate. I made this for my MendelMax and it is working great for me. I don't know if there is room for it to work on other models like the Prusa.

Instructions

You will need the motor mount and the idler mount from thingiverse.com/thing:13228. Use this as the lower clamp pieces and mount the bushings so you have one on the top part (idler or motor mount) and one on the bottom part (x axis clamp with bushing).
