Tarantula Z Lead Screw Pillow Bearing Support by boompy

Inspired by colindo's Lead Screw Bearing Holder http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1784630
I have created one that uses a KFL08 8mm pillow bearing as the support bearing.
There are two options, both are designed to be fixed to the same surface as the printer is attached. There is no attachment to the printer other than the connection through the bearing clamp to the lead screw.
The first option uses the 90deg brackets to fix down to the table, the second has its own fixing points and requires support to print.
They can be installed without removing the lead screw. M5 nuts need to be pressed into the bearing supports so the bearing can be attached after it is in place by two M5 x 20mm socket head screws.
Still experiencing some slight z banding as the lead srew is not perfectly straight but generally happy with the improvement as gaps are now non existant and overall a 100% improvement
