I like to use X-ends which have these flexing tubes to hold the LM8UU linear bearings (I've used those from the [Prusa i3 Rework](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:119616)), since they don't require any screws or cable binders . But these tubes must be printed vertically to be strong enough for flexing,so usually the whole X-ends are printed vertically, which, unfortunately, causes the remaining part of the X-ends to be rather weak and also rather difficult to print without warping or even cracking. So in this project, I tried to overcome the dilemma of the print orientation, by splitting the i3 X-ends into two firmly interlocking parts where each of which is printed in the position of optimal printing quality.
The result is this redesign of the X-ends for the Prusa i3, including motor end, idler end with belt tensioner and endstop.
The X-ends are split into one Z-axis related part printed vertically and a second X-axis relating part which rotated
