Y-guide float straps
Description
What Is It: This Is A Personal Experimental Solution... As You Can See In The Photo I'M Using Screws To Achieve The Same Function. But I Thought I'D Make A Printable Solution Out Of It If Someone Else Likes To Test It Out. Without Having Good Size Screws Available.... What It Does: Makes A Bearing Block Somewhat Floating / Self-Aligning And Is Meant To Be Used "Only" On The Guiding Bearing Block Of The Y-Axis, And Only On The Y-Axis (That Single Block In A Triangle Setup). Mainly To Hopefully Avoid/Reduce Unnessecary Bindning Of The Bearing. These Straps Are Intended For Use With Two Rubber O-Rings And Might Force You To Drill Out The Holes In A Current Bearing Block To Push Right Size O-Rings Through. So You Might Wan'T To Print Out A New Bearing Block If Testing This Out. When Applied These Straps Are Meant To Force The Block Against The Carriage Plate But With A Slight Ability To Rotate Horizontally. This Is Important! You Have To Find The Right Size/Thickness O-Rings For This. Optional: Maybe Add Some Nylon Washers Between The Y-Carriage Plate And The Bearing Block If It'S An Aluminium Block To Make Is Slide Better. If Using A Printed Pla Block It Should Slide Just Fine On The Aluminium Plate As Is. Have Fun Tinkering... Thanks To The User Tahustvedt And His Nice Bearings Blocks (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1172838) One Of Which I Used For Illustrational Purposes. Also Thanks To Dingoboy71 And Jace1969 For Bringing Up This Whole Floating Bearing Deal. Always Fun To Try Out Different Solutions...
