8mm smooth rod Z axis guides for D-Bot

thingiverse

I was having problems with my Z axis moving erratically, and binding that caused me to lose build height consistently. So I decided to try something different, and switch over to smooth rods for my Z axis. To change the Z axis to smooth rods, you'll need the following parts. You will require four 8mmX500mm smooth rods (if longer ones are available, it's preferable) Four LM8LUU Bearings Twenty-eight M5X12mm screws for upper and lower mounts Sixteen M5X10mm screws for the bed mounts Forty-four M5 T-Nuts (I used the drop-in kind) Four M3X12mm screws Four M3 Nuts If you print this, I'd love to see it; please post it using the "I Made One" button. EDIT: With all the design change requests I've been receiving, I decided to share the project. You can download it from here: https://a360.co/2UjOOU9
