another linear bearing question
February 21, 2016 09:43PM
My first post on here, working on my first printer. It's not a reprap but it was a kit. The Q3D two-up, I've got it printing ok...after a lot of modification...smiling smiley My question is: On linear bearings is there a proper way to orient them? With the balls in when viewed from the end in an X pattern or a + pattern?

X pattern. They will run smoother and last longer because the load is distributed on two sets of balls instead of one.
