Upgraded Y Axis slider - 5mm idler

thingiverse

The original by Indychus is indeed a solid part, but its design was based on the dimensions of an idler from idler, which just didn't cut it for me. Every 3mm ID idler I've tested has been plagued with bearings that simply don't function properly. So, I made the switch to Gates idlers with a 5mm ID and the difference is like night and day - they work smoothly in comparison. To streamline my various designs and provide more detailed information, I've set up a blog for the project. It'll be constantly updated as I move forward.
