In the spirit of mrice's singe piece Y-ends the design intent for this Y-Carriage was to reduce part count and remove any set-up errors / fiddling you get with the "separate bearing holders and belt holder" designs:
give a precise mounting for four linear bearings, keeping them parallel.
integrate a belt lands / clamps in the right place for mrices single piece y ends http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:132739.
Integrate a cable land / securing point for the heat bed cables.
Give a large Y movement (version 3 of the design stopped short, hitting the stepper motor, V4 fixed that:)
Various edges are chamfered to avoid any sharp edges / abrasion.
2015-04-06 Added the simple plate to mount a standard 200mm PCB heat bed to the carriage. I haven't made/tried this yet.
