Here’s my latest ‘project’: a ‘z-axis stabilizer clamp’ (or whatever you want to call it;)).
The clamp can be used in combination with a plain 608 bearing to help stabilize the z-axis.
I tested the result of course but I have to say, for me the quality improvement is barely noticable.
But, it removes the vibrating sounds that the axis produces during z-axis travel and I like that too ;).
Please keep in mind that this mod could potentially harm your z-axis if it is not aligned perfectly so make sure it fits your printer nicely as well.
I believe this is a standard bearing that is used in inline skates as well, might find them even in a toy store around the corner ;).
Just look for a so-called ‘608’ bearing. The 608RS is a bearing with standard rubber sealings. The size is 8x22x7mm.
made one of these and it works gr8 very good idea for the mounting options the idea of drilling holes put me off making one , but this fits like a glove
