I tried Igus rod ends about 3 years ago but they didn't work very well for me. In particular, the range of movement was too small - less than both Traxxas rod ends that I used previously and the magnetic joints that I use now. Yup, I've seeby LetumEternum - Mechanics

Hi guys, so a little over a month ago I finally purchased a HE3D printer from amazon and after playing with it for 2 weeks the power supply started to smoke one night. I ended up returning it and decided that I could put something together that would work better probably only for a little more. Now before the power supply had failed I had downloaded fusion 360 (never used a cad program before) tby LetumEternum - Mechanics
