Most of this is just a collection of all the wisdom of the community members.

HowTo

Required Parts

2x Aluminium rods - OD 14mm ID 12mm - 45mm lenght. You could also use a self printed rod (look further down). Self printed can get more precise, but is far more difficult to get it right.

4x jsm-1012-20 bushings from Igus. I strongly advise to buy 10. Its just a litte more expensive then 4 and you will love to have some spare if something goes wrong. And somthing will mostly go wrong if I count the reports on discord :).

Optional Parts

###Aluminium Rods

You can order them together with the JSM as a replacement for X Axis Rods. It's also possible to use Carbon Rods.

After you print the part with random seam, the ID should measure 11.95, insert the bushing and the OD should read 13.9 mm. If they don't, scale based on your ID measurement accordingly and sand excess off the OD if needed.
