P3Steel Yaxis PLA bushing with integrated flange

thingiverse

I remixed Fiveangle"s bushings to fit my P3Steel v2.5 Y carriage. My cheap chinese linear bearings were failing and my Misumi replacements hadn't yet arrived. I only changed the flanges and hole spacing to fit the P3Steel. I made no changes to the actual bushing. I intended to attach them to the carriage with 3mm screws and locknuts but as I tightend the screws the bushings would start to bind. With nothing to lose I decided to try attaching them with zip ties through the holes and around the bushing. This turned out to work well. My new bearings and smooth rods from Misumi have arrived but these are working well so I see no reason to replace them for now. I intend to run them just to see how well they hold up.
