HICTOP Prusa i3 - lead screw guide (wobbling mitigation)

thingiverse

The HICTOP prusa i3 lead screws that come with the kit have acrylic plates on the top that is "supposed" to keep the smooth rods and lead screws in position. But the lead screws slowly grind the acrylic over time and cause a lot of noise. I came up with a small idea to put the lead screw in place with a help of a ball bearing support. I wasnt able to get the accurate dimensions of the acrylic parts (the company refused to release). But this works fine. if someone happens to have the dimensions please share. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1-0.2 Infill: minimum 70% Notes: Try printing this with a stiff/rigid material : PLA high infill or Carbon fiber PLA etc Print with the thicker side on the base so that the bearing cavity doesnt have support.
