ballbearing support for XYZ

thingiverse

This part will replace any ball bearing from xyz AIO and XYZ 1.0 printers. Just a few days ago I started noticing poor quality in my prints, and I was determined to get to the bottom of the problem. I scoured the internet for solutions but couldn't find anything that addressed my issue. Every print had an obvious defect on the y-axis. After thoroughly inspecting my printer, I noticed that the small belt coming from the y motor wasn't tensioned properly - the tension pulley wasn't doing its job at all! As it turned out, the ball-bearing support located near the motor on the right side of the printer was cracked and useless. Without hesitation, I pulled it off, glued it together just enough to print a replacement part. Once printed, I took my time and replaced the cracked one with the new one. To my delight, it's working like a dream!
