Tronxy X5S Redesign

Thingiverse doesn't like doing what is supposed to do... so here's a link to all the fileshttps://drive.google.com/open?id=1G-BReDbdTD_9Myla20l2dGKuE8fYCVYH
My mods for the coreXY system on the X5S
I tried keeping it simple as much as possible but my hand slipped and I accidentally redesigned most of it.
EXTRUDER & X Axis:
The extruder part is a bit tricky.
I don't yet have a Bondtech BMG extruder (Bondtech hit me up pls) because my thirst for Pepsi keeps me from having any long term financial stability, so I downloaded a model from GrabCAD but it isn't very precise and I didn't manage to find anything better online.
So if it doesn't fit don't send bad vibez in my direction.
There are two versions for the motor mount: one for a normal NEMA17 and one for a pancake one so pick the one you like.
The whole carriage is supposed to be mounted on a MGN12H rail because I found out the wheels on the original are generic poopoo and the X axis on my printer moved like a drunk cat.
GANTRY & Y Axis:
The MGN rail elevates the carriage to a new plane of existence which is approximately 10mm higher than before and now the bearings have to get a little higher as well, so I made those cylinder like spacers that are mounted on top of the acrylic gantry plates. My suggestion is to use longer M5 screws and with a larger head, to keep the 608 bearing from flying away.
In the future I plan to use MGN rails for the Y axis.
STEPPER MOUNTS:
Initially I used just some printed spacers to get the steppers a bit higher but I found that making a single PETG piece, instead of using PETG spacers and acrylic plates for the stepper mounts, makes a lot more sense.
ANGLE MOUNT:
The two bearings that can be mounted with the spacers I made for the angles do their job properly if the internal one is tightened with a nut (which has a slot to slide into) and if the outmost one has a long enough M5 to screw into the frame, like is supposed to do on the original design.

I remixed them from this one.
Get yourself some M3 screws and M3 T-Nuts or drill out the holes out.
Also get some long M5s and nuts.
