    Had a filament jam and noticed that my extruder bearing looks as if it has been tightened to much and is coming apart this machine is only like 3 weeks old and i'm not having any issues, my question is are these just the normal 608zz bearings that i can get from amazon or are they a different size i don't really care to try and get replacements from warranty when I can get them cheap and fast, also i was wondering what size are the carriage bushings I want to print new types of carriages but want to leave my old one alone in case I have issues

    Normally when bearings in the printer die it is the LM8UU ones on the rods, but having just recently built a Greg's Wade for another printer I know that those fit :)

    Not sure which bushings you are questioning... picture?
