Can anyone direct me to where I can find an stl file so I can print new y axis bearings for my taz 6?

Which bearings are you referring to?

All the printed parts are on the download.lulzbot site:

I am referring to the bearings underneath the print bed on the taz 6. They slide along the 10mm silver rods inside the bearing holder. I do not see an stl file for the bearings themselves. I do see stl files for the bearing holder, but not the bearings themselves.

I am referring to the bearings underneath the print bed on the taz 6. They slide along the 10mm silver rods underneath the heated bed along the y axis. Taking a look at the list of printable parts, I see an stl file for the bearing holder, but not for the bearings themselves.

The bearings you’re referring to are Igus DryLin linear bearings. You cannot print them unless you’re rich and stubborn.

Other manufacturers make similar ones, if you feel lucky.

Or you can go crazy and do an openrails conversion. Not worth the cost for an aging Taz6, but it’s your time/money.
