anet a8 magnetic lift z axis

V2 here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3530693 I still haven't cracked the code to make this part work properly. I'm putting that out there first, so anyone interested knows where things stand. The magnets do lift the entire setup, and the motor is included, but the issue I've been having is that everything wants to bounce. I've tried springs, foam, rubber bands, and a few other tricks that didn't work, so I'm still searching for a solution. In my opinion, the best use for this setup would be to keep using the z-axis as a floating anti-z-wobble setup while adjusting the sliding parts to a precise distance that prevents bouncing. The magnets should only take the weight off and reduce friction between parts, allowing lead screws to move freely without wobbling while pushing the carriage up in a straight line. I've worked on this project off and on, but I don't have enough time to perfect it right now. I think I'll get back to it eventually, though, and I'm sharing it in case someone else wants to take it on. I'm including step files along with the STL. The magnets used are N48 1/2IN x 1/4IN rare earth magnets found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-x-1-4-inch-Neodymium-Disc-Magnets-Super-Strong-Rare-Earth-Magnet-N48/311529407772?hash=item488899851c:m:mfS1P7smTGYEAwZupki4hKQ:rk:31:pf:0
