X Axis Enhanced
Release status: unknown
This page collects a few ideas on how to enhance Mendel's X carriage.
Reduce the number of bearings
The current (August 2010) Mendel X carriage uses no less than 10 ball bearings to move it on two steel rods. This is over-constrained.
The idea is to reduce the number of bearings to make it equal-constrained. A quick sketch on how this could work with 7 bearings is shown here:
