Note - There is a support piece built-into the model where the bearing will fit.  

These blocks are similar to the ones that come with Ender 3 dual-z axis kits, but are modified to allow them to be secured to the vertical aluminum extrusions instead of only the horizontal extrusion at the top.  

*These are designed to fit the bearings that come with those.  They can easily be removed once the two screws on the kit brackets are removed.  There is a lip on one side of each bearing that must be on the outside.

This was useful for my Ender because the ones from the kit would cause the Z-screws to bind.  And without any brackets, a Z-axis screw pulley does not have enough tension, and pulls the screws out of alignment.

The mounting holes may need to be adjusted slightly, depending on the straightness of your z-screws.

The Dual-Z axis screws + pulleys on each screw + 610mm belt + these brackets has dramatically increased the reliability of my Ender 3!  Hopefully the same is true with yours!
