Ryan has come back on this and the switch to exterior bearing and recess is for performance reasons, so can’t be skipped for conversion. Not what I wanted to hear, but there you go looks like Im disassembling pretty much the whole thing :)
I have a machine I built last year with version 1 of the manual and am now converting to screw drive on the Y axis. I noticed in version 2 of the manual they switched the bearing and recess to the outside of the y plate where to motor is. In version 1, the bearing and recess are on the side of the wheels. Also in version 2.0 they specifically highlight the recess, whereas in version 2.1 they don/t
I can’t see this making any difference in performance. I’ve asked support to advise before i continue with conversion as I really hope I can just keep the bearing on the inside like it is currently. Otherwise I’d have to disassemble the whole machine basically which id rather avoid.
