I like your rod end bearing design, I saw this on another machine and there were springs across both sides top and bottom, do you have any thoughts on why? I am thinking of changing mine to this design. I'm using 250mm long rods with a 200mm bed diameter,
why there were springs across is because the join is a ball (or magnet) and the rod with a cup just cover the ball join to give the maxinum angle movement. Therefore, a spring is require to hold two rods together.
