SmartRap Modified X Plate with embedded bearing mounts

thingiverse

To enhance SmartRap's performance, I modified the LM8UU holders on the plate. However, the bearings sat loosely even with top mount attachment, so I embedded them to eliminate slop. Serge's design has huge potential, but initially, printed plates broke when inserting horizontal bearings due to forces along length. Repairs and reinforcements were made, including adding blocks and beefing up certain areas. A 100% infill is recommended, and socket cap head screws can also help prevent bearing slippage. I updated the design for wider holder holes to reduce strain. Vertical printing may further strengthen the plate and prevent warping. JSpark's LM8UU holders are required for optimal results. After testing five iterations, V4 proved successful with a solid platform and no wobbling. M3 hardware was used throughout, and fishing line can pass unobstructed between bearing mounts. Input and comments are welcome.
