Y-bed slider for Geeetech i3 Pro B with 8mm Acrylic frame

thingiverse

In 2015 I purchased a Geeetech i3 Pro B printer kit with 8mm Acrylic frame. Attempts to use this printer has always resulted in unpredictable outcomes, so I set out to improve it (see my other things for successful improvements). This specific improvement attempt gets rid of the LM8UU linear bearings under the bed, which are part of the Y-axis movement, and replaces them with something that is quieter and which allows me to remove the bed easily (after detaching the Y-axis belt), when needed. I do not yet know the longevity of this part (of which you need 4), but so far it is working very well for me. Print Settings Printer: Geeetech i3 Pro B with 8mm Acrylic frame Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 100% Notes: Print with a material which has low friction and slides easily on steel. I used Taulman PCTPE (which is a Nylon composite) for this, but Igus iglidur, or other material intended for bushings may be more appropriate.
