I tried this model as I didn't want to use any bearings and screws as most of the solution require. And I was really impressed by how smooth and low friction it is. 

However it had some problems and artifacts, also shape was not perfect and a bit wasteful on filament. Roller was not flat and hard to print clean. I adjusted and remodelled everything to address my concerns.

Difference from original:
  • Easier to print (flat roller - no issue with severe overhang and no supports needed)
  • Less plastic required (adjusted the shape keeping same strength but less volume)
  • Lower profile (roller is closer to the base)
  • Click in wheel
  • Bite teeth on the base to hold rail in place

Use provided Bambulab project files, all infills are pre set up in there to optimize the print time and amount of filament used

Same as in original file you have to glue roller together.
