Use this to make a model for a bushing/housing all in one that snaps in place around the guide rods. This does fully constrain 360 degrees around the rod.
I wanted this so I could take off my carriages without removing the guide rods.
The bushing is not a circle, it is an octagon. This helps prevent binding in my testing and observations as I believe there is less surface area contacting the rod, while still keeping the rod constrained.
I had better results (tighter tolerance with less
