What bearings do I use for this? Is this the correct hotend mount for gt2?

Hi guys,

I have finally gotten all my parts printed (v0.4.9) and I had not realized that the size of bearings had changed for the x and y axis. Can anyone tell me what bearings I need for this and if the hot end mount is correct for gt2 belts? I printed the 3 plates from the file folder from github so I figured that they were not a mismatched set.


Thanks,
Knife-edge

Use a ruler and measure the bearing holes. If they are all the same they are for LM8UU bearings and 8mm steel rod. If the 2 verticle bearing holders in the lowest component in your picture are bigger then the horizontal bearing holders in the same part then you need LM8UU and LM6UU beariings (8mm & 6mm steel rod).

I dont see a hotend mount in the picture.

So smartfriends, do you have a file for the jhead lite hotend mount?
