Introduction
Prusa Mendel is simpler remix of normal Mendel. I want to use bushings instead of regular bearings, right now, my prototype is using two bearings, one for X and one for Y axis.
Actual State is, that I have whole machine up and running, with my DIY PLA bushings. Its pretty smooth.

BOM
(in works) M8 nut - 80x M8 washer - 76x

Parallelnes of rods is ensured by the teardrop type of holes for rods plus securing bolts from bottom (there is nut bracket inside the part). By pushing the rods upside, they will self center.
