If it's "Pretty Good as it Comes" then why are you modifying the stock that you have for the latest Ormerod 2?
As dc42 states really, I want to give my customers the best possible, it's not really a modification, just an improvement or extra option.
It can easily be done by the user with a file anyway if they wanted.
But yes, its best to run the bearing on the back face i think when using the aluminium part.

I've installed the aluminium bed support plates and it work very well.
I levelled the bed with the screw and now the result are good with the bed leveling test [www.thingiverse.com]
Thanks for theAluminium plate

Keep an eye on the thread, if interest returns and i get some more done, I could sort something out for you.
If anyone wants an arm kit, post here and we'll see how it goes.

Maybe there is a fix which looks of course somehow like a fix. As Electrician I would never have thought that something like this may happen, but it happened:

There is a big groove in my kit
Now I have an idea why the bearing is running against the bottom side.

Hi all,
Is there any interest on the X-Arm kits still?
I have three users wanting one but I really need to reach 6 or so before getting going.
Price is £40
Thanks

I am still quite unsure. For my second machine I use a solution somehow between the original Acrylic arm and the Aluminium arm. This is a lot of money especially when adding VAT and shipping to Germany and I will have to add a shim again.
So are there any pictures that shows a direct comparison before and after?
Unfortunately I cannot compare with my Ormerod 1 as it still has some undetected mechanical issues and also another nozzle so the printing quality of my MK2 is higher than the MK1.
Hi
there are some pictures on my web shop at the address below, there may be more hidden in this thread as well
There is no VAT as I am not VAT registered.

Regarding the pictures I meant printed parts. For example the 3DBenchy printed with the Acrylic arm and printed with the Aluminium arm.
Apologies, i have no comparison pics, maybe a forum member could assist here

Re: Laser cut Aluminium X-Arm & Rib kits.... January 11, 2016 05:38AM |
Maybe you can describe what I can test. What I have to look for in detail. Okay I can bend the standard arm in Y-direction so I would get the biggest problems with high x-values. But does the standard arm really swing that much during printing? (No smartphone. Printing not pregnancy 
)
I remember that there was a change with my MK1, but I am unsure if this would help with my MK2.
