I was replacing the plastic linear bushings with ball bearing bushings. Some of the bearing holders cracked under pressure from over tightening the screws. I've decided to design new bearing holders for the printer bed. The initial design incorporated wire ties. For the final design, I've decided to use heavy duty stainless steal 5/16" wide hose clamps. The result is a quality bearing holder. This holder will fit the LM10UU linear bearing.

The mounting holes measured from the center of the hole is 32 mm x 25 mm apart. The holes are fitted with M3 brass inserts.

bearing holder V4.stl is designed to hold the bearing in the middle allowing the bearing to pivot which will correct minor misalignment caused by the bed mount plate. The ability to pivot combined with adjustable tension on the bearing holder will eliminate binding of the X axis and off round issue with prints.
