MGN12C vs MGN12H I am building my own cartesian (235mm x 235mm x 235mm) printer for personal use. I designed some parts around MGN12C carriages because they are slighty more compact, but it seems everyone is using MGN12H carriages. Is there any reason not to use 12C carriages? Would I run into any problems with 12C carriages? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?177,860574,860574#msg-860574 Sat, 11 Jul 2026 10:59:04 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?177,860574,861179#msg-861179 Re: MGN12C vs MGN12H https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?177,860574,861179#msg-861179

I don't see problems with the C version, I think there are simply more H versions offered by the sellers, why they are used more often.

I see more problems when you buy carriage and rails separately, as Hiwin and non-Hiwin have different rail profiles and the ball diameters are different also. I had my pitfalls....

Thanks. I already ordered some sets of rails with carriages (MGN12C).]]> bartolomeus Extruded Aluminum Frames Tue, 22 Oct 2019 02:54:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?177,860574,861016#msg-861016 Re: MGN12C vs MGN12H https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?177,860574,861016#msg-861016
