When working with linear rails, it's easy to end up in a frustrating situation where the bearing balls fall out while trying to reinstall the carriage block, or even after putting the bearing balls back into the block, they fall out again during reinstallation. It's the worst-case scenario. :(
In such cases, using this carriage holder allows you to reinstall the rail without the bearing balls falling out.
Print the following parts:
1x MGN12ACH_Center.stl
2x MGN12ACH_Side.stl
How to Use:
1. Place "MGN12ACH_Side.stl" along the rows of bearing balls in the carriage block.
2. Insert "MGN12ACH_Center.stl" into the center gap.
3. Connect the assembled carriage holder to the rail and slide the carriage block onto it.
Notes:
- Basically, you shouldn't need to remove the carriage block from the rail. However, you might find yourself needing this tool if the block accidentally comes off or when lubricating the block with grease.
- This design is inspired by the MGN7 Assembly Tool on thingiverse.
