X-end-motor Prusa i3 mk2s Fix for skewed x-axis

thingiverse

Reworked the x-end-motor and idler part from Prusa to get rid of skewed x-axis. Originally the top smooth rod hole is 0.5mm deeper in the top than bottom, causing right hand side of x-axis to fall down during power cut off. Z-axis needed calibration/run it all the way up, after each power up, but with these new files that is not needed anymore. Seems like it is less strain on stepper motors as well. The fault is in Prusa's original files, so I needed to draw them up from scratch. I redesigned the parts for PETG material which has less shrinkage, and for IGUS bearings. The IGUS bearings are held in place by a 0.2mm x 0.7mm lip inside the holder. Press it in while carefully expanding the gap at the same time with a screwdriver or similar. Also I included the original design (files without PETG in name) for printing in ABS and with original linear bearings. I recommend printing both the x-end-idler and x-end-motor parts when upgrading, as you then get the most accurate height on both sides of the x-axis with the same settings and material.
