Printable LM8UU bushing v3

cults3d

I've created a 3rd version of printable LM8UU bushings that are designed to be even better than before. Prusa had suggested adding some spring or give to them, so I decided to give it a try. The result is a much stronger and more durable part that can handle the forces they're subjected to without any issues. Plus, they compress slightly when inserted, which reduces the likelihood of cracking your X-ends. I replaced my original bushings with these new ones and they seem to be working great so far, even though they're still wearing in. The chatter problem I had is completely gone! It's clear that this design modification was a good idea. One important note: ABS is not the best material for bushings, as it's too soft and has high friction, causing it to wear out quickly. If you printed these in ABS, they'd be more of a novelty than a useful part. But PLA works really well, and any other hard plastic will also produce great results.
