Ender Y axis linear rail conversion

thingiverse

The Y axis on the Ender works, but is pretty rubbish. This replace the v-slot wheels with a 12mm linear rail. Like most conversions this places the rail on top of the Y 2040 profile, but it places the belt as close to the possible to the rail to reduce its torque on the table. It also uses a very rigid belt attachment system, though it requires a cheap belt clamp from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HGYI4ZK/ The drill template has holes for using two standard sized trucks for extra rigidity or a single large truck like most of the inexpensive linear rails use. This has been a great upgrade for me. It makes the table much more rigid and there's no more messing with the v-slot wheels.
