For what it's worth, I've made a design that does exactly that.

- What effect does raising the ball sockets from the carrier have if any? (I had to raise them up 5mm, so the spring wire hole clears the belt guide)
- What is the optimum angle for the sockets? (mine are currently at 45 degrees, the same as the effector)

Thanks maso.
I started tweaking my design to have the rod holders at the top and it made me curious about a couple of things.
- What effect does raising the ball sockets from the carrier have if any? (I had to raise them up 5mm, so the spring wire hole clears the belt guide)
- What is the optimum angle for the sockets? (mine are currently at 45 degrees, the same as the effector)

The 30 x 30 x 10 cooling fan fits to the topside of the effector between two of the metal spacers. It's held n place with a dab of Cherry Pi 'secret sauce'

Speaking of the CP not-so-secret sauce,has anyone tried to attach un-tapped steel bearings directly to the rods (CF or aluminum) on the non-magnetic spring setup using CA? Just curious how it would work, since I have a hundred 5/16" (7.93mm) balls left over from my attempt at Johann's recirculating ball carriages. I was thinking that an automotive brake line flaring tool might be able to create a decent contact area for the ball to be glued.....

It maybe that all that is required is a tube with a larger, maybe 6mm, ID. As everything is held in tension by the spring the end of the tube may be a suitable 'housing' for the ball

Just received my 12v mk3 heated bed.I was going to use a xbox 360 power supply to power it,Do I just connect the xbox supply on the second lot of power input connections and leave my existing 6a power supply still connected.

You will also need a thermistor for the bed and a tweak to the firmware to enable it

The new carriages work, and I have gained 30mm with the flipped design. I also seem to be able to print via USB now, thanks to a new cable. (should always try the obvious things first)
The carriage is designed for Bosch Rexroth/Motedis aluminium extrusion, but could be tweaked for other makes. I am using the following fittings with mine....
M3 x25mm Socket Head Cap Screw & M3 Nut (Wheel tension adjustment)
M3 x 20mm Hex Head Screw & M3 Nut (Belt adjustment, If you don't have a M3 hex bolt, a normal SHCS will probably work if you glue it in place.)
4 x No 4 x 1/2" Pozi Flanged Self Tappering Screws (Fixings for rod carrier/carriage)
3 x M5 30mm Socket Low Head Cap Screw (to replace the M5 screws supplied with the mini v wheel kit)
2 x M2 x 6mm Socket Head Cap Screw (to hold the belt loops in place)
Regards,
Les
