Instructions
Easiest (read: cheapest ~$20) way to convert your Stock E3 X axis to MGN12C linear rail. Supports stock setup, bed leveling probes (BL Touch and it's clones, PL08N inductive probe) and simple direct drive based on stock parts. Compatible with my other models.
Self-tapping versions do not require Brass heat inserts and are meant for prototyping, because they're rarely usable after couple of rebuilds.
NB! In case of PL-08N inductive probe : BAT85 diode is REQUIRED for signal wire or else you'll probably fry your board. Proceed if you REALLY know, what you are doing.
