V2 here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3530693 I have NOT been able to make this part function properly yet. Just wanted to put that out there first to be clear with anyone interested. The magnets do lift the entire setup. Motor included but the issue Ive been having is that everything wants to bounce. I have tried springs,foam,rubber bands,and a few other useless non working tricks and have not been able to crack the code so to speak. I believe the best use for this setup would be to continue to use the z axis as a floating anti z wobble setup but to have the sliding parts at just the right distance to keep it from bouncing and to only use the magnets to take the weight off and reduce friction between the parts to allow the lead screws to wobble freely while pushing the carriage up in a straight line. That is my current theory anyways. I have worked on this off and on some but really dont have the time it takes to perfect the process. I think I will get to it eventually but thought I would share it in case someone else was interested in working on it. I will include step files along with the stl. Magnets 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
