About this model
I designed this so the rails mount on the front of the z-axis extrusions. This distributes the weight of the bed to the bearings on both sides of the linear rail blocks, and not just the bearings towards the rear, as happens with side mounted rails. This resolved the serious z banding issues I was having, did a better job keeping the left and right sides of the bed level vs. having the rails on the side, and I didn't lose any print bed height. I was also able to remove the aftermarket shaft coupler I had as a "fix" and use the factory one again. If you want to also update your x and y-axis to linear rails, I have a mounting kit at If you are using my R19 cable chain bed frame mount at I've added a compatible compact mount to that listing.
