Update 9/11/2016
I have added new sliders for Z and Y axes. In addition, I have added a new carriage based on croadfeldt's Hot End generator (source code for the changes is available on github.
I no longer recommend using PLA. Taulman 645 or Taulman bridge is optimal for these parts.
This is a PLA slider to use in place of wheels on a C-Bot X carriage. There's an opening for the NEMA 17 motor because I designed this for the direct drive carriage, so I don't know how well it works with the bowden carriage.
To use, just push the two pieces together (or use the single print piece if you haven't assembled the Y bar yet). Then just put the same screws through it that you would use for the wheels.
If you are using the split parts and it's too tight, find something to space them apart, such as a thin washer. You want it to fit as tightly as possible without impeding movement.
