Looks great! You can't beat linear guides for precision and stability.

Is the bed on just one linear guide? If so, I'm surprised it stays flat.

If you ever played with a linear guide you wouldn't be surprised at all. Especially not preloaded guides.

It's kinda hard to see everything in the video, are you going to put up some pics?

I have to admit I was highly skeptical, my boss has an awesome printer that is the same size as mine and was super sure it would be fine with one bearing with 2% preload, once I put it together and applied pressure to the corners with a indicator it moved a couple tenths of a thau max and that was with my big hand pushing pretty hard on a corner that was 6 inches from the bearing block, impressive to say the least! This is for a 20mm bosch/rexroth one with high end specs, it retails for around 80.00 usd each and is worth the price IMHO.

You are all welcome to steal any of my ideas that you want but since I thought of it first (correct me if I am wrong) so if anyone wants to use my picatinny rail quick release design can it please be referred to as the "lunarkingdom" mounting system? I hope it is not too much to ask ;-) and it is adjustable just like a rifle scope is you can clamp it up and down about 2.5 inches in total for different sized hot ends.

What would I put on github, my marlin configuration? It is not that different from the one you download. I have never used github before.
