Bearing Block for tapered LM08UU bearings

<h1 align="center">LM08UU Linear Bearing Block</h1> <p>This proposal presents a linear bearing block designed to work seamlessly with the tapered version of the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3511091">LM08UU Linear Bearing</a>.</p> <p>The intention is for this bearing block to be used in conjunction with my Anet A6, but it should also fit perfectly on the A8 and many other Prusa I3-based printers.</p> <p>The original Anet A6 model has significant limitations when it comes to precision and heat bed stability. I have consistently experienced difficulties with the blocking or jiggling of the plate. This led me to design the tapered bearings and this holder, which addresses these issues.</p> <p>The bearing block includes a protective shield for easy activation of the end stop switch.</p> <h4>Key Improvements:</h4> <ul> <li>An asymmetrical fixation mechanism provides a certain degree of freedom for the tapered bearing.</li> <li>A reduced weight design is achieved (at least for the old aluminum type I have).</li> </ul> <p><h4>Required Materials:</h4></p> <ul> <li>Metric screw M3x12 + nut for each bearing block</li> </ul> <h2>History</h2> <h4>Version 0.1.0</h4> The first published version, currently in use and available for public access.
