This montage shows what I wish to be an incremental upgrade to magnetic ball joint for the BI V2.5 printer.
This is the first part, fully operationnal conversion, using OpenBuilds V-Slot linear rails that keeps the original arms and plastic ball joints. It will also convert the printer from string to belt.
The OpenBuilds plates are on the opposite side of the rails, so I can install printed carriages that retain the same ball joints position thus the same arms lenght.

##WARNING
Before buying expensive parts for this retrofit, you should at least print one carriage and try to assemble the inserts and ball joint, see if you can make them fit together (see [Instructions](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:774331/#instructions)). If you're not satisfied with the result, **THEN FORGOT ABOUT THIS UPGRADE.**
