In bad need of an x carriage that uses these linear bearings instead of the unencased bearings. I am transitioning to a bowden extruder so that is a consideration as well. Thanks guys

Search thingiverse for SC8UU X carriage. However I recommend you avoid these, all they do is add mass, which reduces quality/acceleration.

found one searching for Hictop of all things

I firmly recommend against Bowden extruders.

Here’s mine. Just 1/8 the aluminum and two super small MIG touches…

Jim I do plan on casting this one into aluminum eventually but thanks for the info as well. I did find a few that I am printing now to run with and see how they perform before investing any of my metal stock and gas for the forge into that lol

Why do you want to move to a Bowden extruder? What is the reasoning behind that?

I made the move to bowden already. Saw increase in the speeds I can push on this without banding due to x movement. Had to tinker a bit but well worth it. Was hoping to cut times down marginally and moved from j head to E3D at the same time. Better nozzle, faster speeds.
