Here's a rewritten version of the text in American English, free from foreign characters and with an active voice throughout: A redesign of the Prusa i3's side axis X components is underway, focusing on integrating a printed bushing instead of linear bearings. The original parts are based on the "vanilla" version of the Prusa i3, featuring a modified version of the https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1430232 linear bearing designed to be integrated with the x-end code. Minor adjustments include adding a tab to the x-end-motor for a Z-endstop screw and modifying the x-end-idler to accommodate 608zz bearings and their corresponding 8mm axles. The parts are printed in PLA, then "machined" using an 8mm drill bit to smooth out interior walls before being lubricated with silicone-based WD40. Performance-wise, this setup runs smoothly, boasting reduced play and noise compared to cheap Chinese bearings. Printing details include a 0.8mm nozzle size and 0.3mm layer height.
