About this print
A part designed to reduce Z-axis wobble on the Anet A8 desktop 3D printer. It seats a 608ZZ bearing to support the Z leadscrew and dampen unwanted lateral movement, which can cause visible banding in printed surfaces. The device is intended to improve print quality and is designed to work alongside other printer stabilisation upgrades. ABS is the recommended material as it provides a snug fit for the bearing, though PLA may be used with minor adjustment.

I made this device quickly.
In the following planned to make changes.
But the device is already half a year, works well, decided not to change anything.
Bearing 608ZZ.
We print leisurely with good resolution and filling
It works great in conjunction with this thing http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1858459
I print in ABS
ABS has a shrinkage.
In other materials bearing landing can be free.
Heavy landing bearing is not needed ..
If it is very bad, use a drop of glue (PLA) , a drop plastic dissolved in acetone (ABS)
No need to use super glue or glue with strong fixation

I purchased and installed new screws.
Screws of high quality
I removed the anti wobble system and the upper bearing.
Print a test blocks before and after. (AVS label with anti wobble system and old of screws)
The printer prints with new screws bit cleaner, but small waves the axis Z visible. Even more strongly felt irregularities to the touch
Most likely I will go back to the previous configuration, but with the new screws

I added a photo of a similar device installed on my old 3D printer(PRUSA i2).
It is already working for 4 years.
This is the basis of my concept
