Description
History
This is a derivative work of thingiverse.com/thing:4311 By thingiverse.com/jamesstaylor
It uses 623 bearings with M3 washers on both sides of all bearings.
These are both 125MM high, so make sure you are set up to print that tall

Instructions
Print out both files, install the bearings, slide them onto the 8MM rods and then glue the mounts to the small platform of your Pursa.
You can make them tighter or looser on the 8MM rods by tightning the 3MM scews holding the Bearing, if you want them looser than loosen the screws.
Check out the X Carraige also thingiverse.com/thing:7787

Using bushings was the biggest problem I had with the prusa mendel succeeding but this fixes it! How about the same for the X axis? Maybe I'll have to make a Prusa now...

I found that a small extrusion the size of the inner diameter of a ball bearing around the bolt-hole make the bearings run even more smoothly due to less contact of the free-turning other side with the frame.
(hard to describe with just words)
You may look at my follow focus to see what I mean.

Sweet! How long did it take to print the Y Mount? That seems like it would take forever...
As a side note, would it be as strong to separate the start and end part of it so it was two 20 or 30 mm long pieces? Just a thought. :)

Nice. Any chance of an SAE version?
