IGUS linear bearing hopup for the E3D BigBox by JesperJuul

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

--- NOTE --- Tolerances for IGUS bearing with orange should be good but i'm not done testing different materials.
I'm experimenting with the IGUS RJMP-01-08/RJ4JP-01-08 linear bearing as a hopup for the rather noisy and bad quality (at least mine was)LM8UU there was shipped with the BigBoxes.
This unfortunately means remixing the carriages for the x- and y-axis, since the current clamps will make the short IGUS bearings kink and bind up.
I'm pretty much done with the x-axis carriages, but i still have to do the y-axis carriages, while the z-axis should be plug and play.
Notes on the design and the chosen way of fixing the IGUS bearing: I have decided to use the recesses for fixing o-rings and from there it is just a press fit into the carriages. This way everything should be nice and centered and in theory it should also be a little sound dampening.
