## Smooth Glide Rail. ### X Linear Rail Upgrade. ---------------------------------------- [Bobblejot Website](http://bobblejot.com) [Bobblejot GitHub](https://github.com/Bobblejot/) [Bobblejot Twitter](https://twitter.com/bobblejot) [Bobblejot Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/join/bobblejot) ---------------------------------------- ** Note ** A long-awaited version for the MGN12H rail is finally available, apologies to those who waited patiently. The new MGN12H version and updated MGN9H version now utilize a separate standoff for the hotend, simplifying print orientation. The MGN12H Upgrade adds an additional 3.5mm to the Y Offset on top of the Original 7mm Offset. ---------------------------------------- A straightforward X Linear rail upgrade using an MGN9H rail is presented here, with a slight increase in Y offset due to the rail carriage, but it's minimal at just 7mm. To complete this mod, you'll need to remove a small amount of material from the Extruder cover mounting lug where it meets the bottom M3x6mm mounting bolt. A longer rail, such as a 330mm MGN9H or MGN12H, is required for this upgrade. Most suppliers can cut the rail to your desired length if needed. You won't need any additional hardware beyond the rail itself and a few M3 T-Nuts and bolts: [Alignment Jigs and Drill Guides](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3533580) ---------------------------------------- ** Materials: ** 1 x 320mm long MGN9H Linear Rail - Aliexpress or 1 x 320mm long MGN12H Linear Rail - Aliexpress 8 x M3 T-Nuts - Aliexpress 12 x M3x6mm Cap Head Bolts 2 x M3x25mm Cap Head Bolts 3 x M3 Locknut 1 x M3 Washer And That’s it. ---------------------------------------- ** My Other Ender 3 Mods: ** [Direct drive BMG + E3D Volcano](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3835332) [Tusk Fan Shroud](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3055926) [Z Endstop Bracket](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3057136) [Y Endstop Bracket](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3057132) [Cable Guide](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3061903) [Bondtech Style Extruder](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3016298) [Bondtech BMG Mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3489669) [Bondtech BMG Style Extruder](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3263791) [M8 Level Probe Mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3491181) [Y Axis Linear Rail Mod.](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3064275) [Y Axis Linear Rail Mod v2.](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing::3530419) And That’s it.
