This is a replacement for the U-bolt bearing clamps on the Prusa i3 MK2s and MK3. **Extra hardware is required for installation**, namely six M3x15 machine screws and six thin M3 square nuts. The nuts are the same as those used by Prusa. See below.
Using U-bolts for attaching the three linear bearings for the Y-axis is problematic at best. The theoretical contact area between the bearing and the U-bolt is zero. This means, no matter how gingerly one tightens the nuts, deformation of either th
