6/6

The benchy on the front was the first one with the old bearing.
The benchy on the back is the new one. Same gcode, same all!

It worked!!!
Now I have two working printers.

Might sell the old one and get another ace pro :3

Two bearings, because I couldn't find an 10x14x50, so I got two 10x14x25.

Upon removing them and adding the new ones. I could see that the old ones had chunks of graphite missing and apparently the shape of the brass was also damaged?

ANYWAYS. Printed assembled and test run!

4/6 you need basically to remove 90% of the printer to get in the X axis out. But on a big brain move I realized I could just take a few parts on the front!

Removing the X axis from the plastic was really hard. There was an epóxi glue thing. Had to scrape all of it.

Needed to fit two beatings

Só with that in mind, and a whole day with nothing else to do and the parts in hand.
I started tearing apart. The bearings are in the X axis which you need to remove almost all parts to reach.

SO MANY SCREWS AND THINGS TO REMOVE.

By the official guide...

I decided it would be a waste to throw out this printer for a simple bearing that was hard to reach. I started digging on Aliexpress for a 10x14x50 graphite-brass bearing. Could only find 10x14x25, so I bought 5. That costed me 180 brl.

Since the printed is busted already, what could go wrong?
