Inspired by all the modded Makerbots and Mendels at the Makerfaire last weekend, I designed these mendel styled bearing outriggers for my rattly X-axis carriage. This slides super smooth and quiet and has definitely improved output quality, especially on tall prints. Mounting holes could be a bit better situated, but it works and doesn't bump into anything.

note: Small revision to the 180 piece on 9/29 - I added pockets in the reinforcement bump to accommodate the bolt heads.

11/11 I added files for the individual pieces by request
