My bed was made out of aluminum angle iron, I thought it would work so well, well I was so wrong, it was very flimsy even with extra bracing and rivets, my friend Chris came to the rescue AGAIN and slapped me together a new bed out of maple, it is very strong and very stable.
Here are the parts that are being replaced.
Here are the replacement parts when they finished printing, four shaft holders and a anti-backlash nut, it is not the one I actually used, the one I used was the same model but I redesigned it just a bit making the bottom nut not locked into place but able to float up and down so that the spring could actually push it against the threads making it an actual anti-backlash setup instead of a "Sort of" one.
And as normal I suck at taking "As you go" pictures (sorry) so here are pictures of everything in place, I purchased last payday the two bearings that I had originally wanted but they were out of stock so I had to use something else until I got them.
Next up will be auto bed leveling (I did the lighting last week just forgot to post about it).
