I was looking for rod ends and came across the Igus ones - which I assumend would be megabucks, but m3 rod ends come out at about £1.73 each in 25 off quantities - much cheaper than metal ones and not a big jump more than RC car rod ends.

Has anybody tried them? any opinions?

Almost, if you means Igubal WGRM-05. I ordered some, but they are not delivered yet. I can tell you more when I got them, if this is still relvant to you half a year later.

I did not try Igubal, but MP-Jet works fine (MP JET Ball Link (Ø7 mm, M3, M3 short)):

Yes i have been testing them for 3 months on my delta printer. Their wear rate depends on what materials and tolerance you fasten them to the carriages. Good for a light weight option and low cost, may wear to quick i will see after my tests.
