Like the original author of this idea the basis was to avoid trips to the hardware store or purchasing expensive aluminum rods online which can be hard to find the exact dimensions.  However, this version has screwable end caps.  It is designed to be used with the dyrbox less adapter so the total end to end length is a little less than 490mm (49cm) https://www.printables.com/model/1156853-mmu3-auto-rewinder-mount-for-the-prusa-enclosure-t

The pegs are designed to be inserted into the hole of the opposite side.  They are friction fit and can be pushed in with some push force.  The rods can only be fit one way with the file names clearly named accordingly.  The end caps are interchangeable and provide just the right clearance so the assembled rods do not have any back and forth leeway.

Print each rod facing up so the side with the little peg inserts are at the top.  Screw caps should be printed with the closed side on the print bed.

I was not aware of this model when I created my version, however before submitting I searched to see if someone had created a similar version.
