Hypercube z-carriage bushing adapter

thingiverse

This is an accessory designed for integrating 0812 self-lubricating bronze bushings with the original z-carriage from Tech2C. Swapping out linear bearings for these bushings significantly reduces the z-banding/noise caused by breakaway torque associated with linear bearings. Moving up from this setup would likely involve a 3-leadscrew bed configuration or linear rails. I opted to try this modification first, prior to investing in additional hardware, and I'm thoroughly satisfied with the results achieved so far, in conjunction with my other component - a belt-driven bed. I recommend trying this approach before proceeding to a belt-driven bed, as it yields rapid and effortless printing. To achieve precise alignment during installation, apply hot glue to fill the gap between my adapter and the z-carriage. Please share your experiences if you create one of these adapters!
