The file 'Openbuilds V-slot X Axis For Lulzbot TAZ 4 Or 5 Printers Or The AO-10X Ballscrew Modification 3D Printer Model' is (pdf,dwg,dxf,stp,stl) file type, size is 10.4MB.
This project adds a bolt on, no firmware modification required fully supported X axis to the Lulzbot Taz 4 and 5 printers in place of the existing bearing rod.

installation manual is in the works, don't expect it for a few days though.
Edit: the original printed backplate had an error, and was too tall. The new one has been corrected. You will want to print the new one. The CNC version is fine as is.
Edit 2: Uploaded new endcaps and idler tensioner. These parts are compatable with the existing part set. They fix minor geometry issues, add capacity for an X maximum endstop, and move the Idler tensioner bolts out far enough that the tension can be adjusted while the entire rail is mounted on the machine. You do not need to print and install these parts unless you wish to incorporate the additional features to your build. The older parts have been left as a conveniance to anyone wishing to reprint that style.
Edit 3: The instructions PDF is now uploaded! Yay!
Edit 4: A huge thank you to Tom Swanson (http://www.thingiverse.com/Tomscables/about) who assembled and created the An assembly document that includes an exploded assembly view and a much nicer tabulated bill of materials. Open source community helping grow and refine Open Source designs, it's what it's all about. You can view the new document in the uploaded files:

(It is definitely worth taking a look at the picture assembly document as well still)
Edit 5: I have a limited number of the metal backplates available for sale, $25 shipped via USPS to a domestic U.S. address. if you happen to want one, please feel free to send me a message here and we can go over logistics. The printed backplate is adequate for making this work, the metal one is more compact than the printed one, and will fit such things as the cable chain anchors and the bed leveling probe mount.
