Figured out the Pulley should be GT2-16 but not sure about the idler, there is a few different ones and i just cant figure it out unless i wait till my printer is ready with the ongoing print and then do some measurements..

Hi Kimmo.

The idler is a shouldered aluminium sleeve running on a ball race.

The aluminium should last years. I sujjest you just buy a new ball race.

Hi Joan!

I want this as a spare part for my mk2s and i also would like to rebuild my Chinese Prusa clone to
a mk2s so thats why i need the same part but i guess i could just buy an idler that is close to the original one, will do some
measurements when my printer ready with todays print.
