My gantry was slowly falling down overnight because of the weight of the accessories I have on it so I remixed (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4975664) and added a 2nd bearing, a pulley and some counterweight (an eye bolt with a bunch of washers on it)
Now the gantry is almost neutrally balanced. Probably easier on the stepper motor too.
Using the 608 bearing. M3x25 Bolts & M3 Nut.
Update: Jan 30. I added a M4 screw hole to the top so I can bolt it down to the top of the gantry. Over time, the PLA was flaring out on the gantry and slumping down from the pull of the weight.
This also works on the Ender v3
