Is it possible to use printed bushings for the carriage instead of the LM8uu's?
Thanks-

Yes my prototype used them. The problem is once they start to wear out the quality of the print will diminish quickly. With the carriage being so small you need the bearings to fit the rods really precisely to avoid slop.
