A week ago, I bought three 3' lengths of 8mm smooth rod for my Prusa Mendel because I wanted to use LM8UU bearings.

Now there is no wiggle at all! If you're building a "United States customary units" Prusa Mendel and are ordering online and might use LM8UU bearings now or in the future, get 8mm rods.

I have since put it together and am currently printing out the Holiday Prusa Mendel on Thingiverse with it. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving! :) However, there were some problems I noticed: - Thermistor read wrong temps—ABS now likes to melt at 200C - Solder joints on power resistors melt partially when running at 200C - Th...| Cyrozap's Tech Projects
