8mm rod holders

Here are the rod holders i am using for 8mm rod. Its works great, but you have to take your time to install it correctly. You will need a caliper to make accurated measurements. Also if you drill a little the base holes you will have a little free movement for error correcting. There are 2 files: -8mm hole trough hole -8mm 15mm depth You can try whatever you want You will need to print: -2 x 8mm rod holders -2 x 8mm rod holders (mirrored with your slicer) For setup: - i recommend you to assemble the rods, linear bearings and bed first. -Once you have it, and your rods are parallel and centered, mesure the exact distance between rods. -Insert the 4 rods holders. -Then you can use american tape (or whatever) to temporary fix the holders, take your time to put the correct distance between rods and between a single rod and profile center. -Now you can tighten the screws. -put some grease in the rods Enjoy!
