I had used Greg's Wade Extruder for a few years but I was getting bad cracks around the areas where the bearings are pressed in, I used the most important measurements and concept of the original, essentially I'm just using needle bearings pressed into the extruder while keeping the roller bearing on the hinge. This allows for more material around the bearings, and keeping them fully captured. I've been using this for about a year, seems to be working well. The needle bearings I'm using are 5905
