About this model
I liked the improved rollers @humebeam posted, but I was having some real issues with them functioning properly:They tended to rub against certain slots in the hydra which reduced their rolling smoothness (e.g. second from back slot often caused friction-creating collision with even the smallest roller).The adjustable casings did not work reliably because the little lips would rub against the roller body.The rollers themselves had inner holes that were relatively tight, such that screws used as axles could rub against them, again increasing rolling resistance. To solve these 3 problems, I remodeled the rollers in CAD and implemented two fixes here:I shortened the overall top-flat length of the rollers by 0.5 mm on each side, which improves clearances between the roller and the hydra casing…
