OK I should have placed a warning here first.
"Don't try this mod it's unproven!"
It looks good and you would think it should work well but the rods are a very soft metal and the lateral movement will destroy them. I ran a load for a week and the rods have a lot of wear where the bearing are. So back to the plastic bearings after cleaning up the rods and back to the drawing board.
Well I came up with a solution for the plastic bearings on the model B. The 608ZZ bearing holder is printed out of PETG and I printed a modified standard plastic bearing to use as a jig to center the shaft to drill mounting holes. The shafts were just long enough to use the original clips on the shafts. It will be a bit more complicated to change the belt but it's not bad. Oh and I also found these silicon feet that almost completely kills the noise being transferred to the self.
