I got a bug in my drawers to upgrade my printers to full linear... I print so much I keep wearing out the bearing wheels and have to replace them more regularly than I care for.

I've been working on and testing this design, and am very happy with is so far. I'm cranking out prints at 150mm/s with the stock hotend. I have a new heat brake and block to install that should get me up to 250mm/s.

I'll be redesigning the parts once more before I release, but this should be a full retrofit that reuses most of the original parts, and preserves the original part offsets so you don't lose any build area space. The final design will be a lot cleaner and more refined than blocky test parts. I'll be designing and releasing my own hotend cooling system as well that will incorporate a second 5015 blower for parts cooling.

More to follow!

I don't need someone shitting all over my work, especially when I'm about to give it away as a gesture of kindness to the community.

Do you really want to encourage, or at least enable that sort of behavior? I'm here for positivity. They can, and should, get lost.

You can't read, he agreed with you and called the kits you had problems with trash. And then tried to help you by guiding you to a project similar to yours to use as inspiration.

If you're here for the positivity, I'm surprised you're bringing so little yourself.

It reads as criticism of using inexpensive linear rails, and my work, and my skills. I'm being told to go get my ideas from someone else. Nothing there is positive from my point of view.

This is not worth arguing about and makes me regret posting my work here or sharing my work with the community.
