Thanks to inks007 for this well made design (Thingyverse thing:2969556).
I used it for with Igus drylin RJ4JP-01-08 bearings. And it works very well so far. I upgraded the x- and y-axis with RJ4JP bearings and it's super quiet now, doesn't have any play and runs super smooth. The design should also work with the standard bearings.
I did have some issues with the original design:
When I installed the y-axis on my new MK3s I noticed that it rubbed against the frame. Picture of it is attached.
After learning how OpenSCAD works, I figured out how to adjust the design accordingly.
Now the remixed version won't rub against the frame anymore.
Everyone should just need to adjust this one parameter:
bearing_od_loosen -> adjust it according to the bearing, printer settings and filament material
I uploaded the 6 different files with different diameters of the hole for the bearing:-0.2= -0.2mm smaller diameter
-0.1 = -0.1mm smaller diameter
0.0 = normal diameter
+0.1 = 0.1mm larger diameter
+0.2 = 0.2mm larger diameter
+0.3 = 0.3mm larger diameter
Print the version whitch makes a nice press fit for your bearing.
What you need for this design:
6x M3 16mm-18mm screws. (Use washers with the 18mm long screws otherwise they will hit the frame)
6x M3 nuts

Changelog:
V2: 28.02.2023 after countless requests I finally adjusted the bearing mount to be 0.3mm shorter to get rid of the y-axis error. Renamed all models. They used to be called +01 → +0.1 as printables now support dots (.) in the filename.
