Robo3D R1 Alternative Y Axis Pillow Block and End Caps for 10mm Smooth Rods

thingiverse

These are the parts needed to upgrade @WhereWaldo's bronze bushing with 10mm Smooth Rods. The pillow block was modified to clear a 10mm rod through its center hole. Sourced from the original product, the bronze bushings have exact size specs for either an 8mm rod or a 10mm rod, meaning the outside mounting hole doesn't need modification. Modified endcaps use 10mm rods and add extra material for support due to their larger size. This is just a quick post to allow forum members to try this upgrade if they want. I haven't printed or assembled this upgrade myself yet. I ordered 10mm rods from ultibots.com, which are slightly long and need to be cut to length. The stock rods measure 354-355mm in length. They're good quality and the sale price is better than others I found elsewhere. 10mm Rods: http://www.ultibots.com/misumi-precision-ground-10mm-x-405mm-shaft-pair/ 10mm Bronze Bearings: http://www.ultibots.com/10mm-bronze-bearing-4-pack-a-7z41mpsb10m/
