IGUS Drylin  

They work well

I installed drylins on my first MK3s some time ago - only use them on the X and Y axis (6 in total).  On my second MK3S+, I built the kit and built it from the ground up with drylins replacing the linear bearings for X and Y axis.  They are somewhat finicky with regarts to how to mount them and how much squeeze to put on them (the holes through the drylin are larger than 8mm - so you have to put some squeeze on them.  

how do you squeeze them?

how do you squeeze the Y? did you print some adapter? the mk3s+ come with the metal clip, is it enpugh to put the neede squeeze in the drylin? same questione about the Z, i see the printing carriage (the pitstop mod) has many screws to adapt the squeeze

thanks

The clips have screws that you use to adjust your bearing tension - even have to do it with the linear bearings.

Don't put drylins on Z.

RE: IGUS Drylin

I had Drylins plus the special black aluminum rods for Drylin for all 3 axes on my Mk2.5s for a long time.

They worked well, but not as well as Misumi bearing on high-quality rods.

In particular,  

1- they are quite tricky to mount on the Y axis, the slightest mis-alignment jams the carriage.

2- as advertised, they are self lubricating. The specially-treated aluminum rods always felt slippery.

3- they run smoothly and quietly

4- they have considerable "slop" and wear out relatively quickly, especially on the X axis.  The relatively soft aluminum rods shown no wear at all however. 

5- the black rods look awesome on a black and orange Prusa!

If you use IGUS bearings I strongly advise you to use the ones with an aluminium casing. They are drop in replacements for the stock bearings. I have shared my experience here, if your are interested:
