Sidewinder X1 anti z wobble

thingiverse

remixed this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4853171 with bigger 8x2mm stabilizer magnets as I only had access to n35 ones instead of the stronger n52. the one part is for the lower and upper pieces of the assembly. Same 4mm steel balls. V2 have deeper slots for the magnets to trap the balls inside the "sandwiched" assembly. *****My experience with these and n35 magnets: the weight of the gantry and the friction on the leadscrew (even supper lubricated) are stronger than the side magnets ability of aligning everything and on supper smaller turns the assembly is not capable of maintaining everything "square" and loose precision there (the lower part stays pivoted depending on the Z movement). It was immediately noticeable during the manual mesh leveling where the values where all over the place and the printer could not lay a perfect first layer. Not sure how it performs with n95 magnets, but if the force is so strong that it is able to maintain alignment, maybe it doesn't let the assembly wobble to compensate for a bent screw?? Unfortunately disassembled and reassembled everything twice! LOL but that is ok.*****
