You used the 1.7b 19.10 version?
Yeah for this build. Sits pretty good. My bearings are a tiny bit smaller than specs, measured them again to be sure and got around 18.98. The 19.15 version would be good too but 19.05 would probably be too tight.

I feel a little bad
Nice! My purple ABS printed beautifully, not tested in the machine yet, wife and kids are sleeping
I'll use it for updating my assembly guide today so lots of pics to take.
But now I have bad luck again - nozzle clogged at 90% of the pressure. Well, to test the fit it is enough - stay positive - no more desire today
Tomorrow it goes on.
Ouch I have a 1.7 (b) print of the 19.10 mm version running, will test it in the morning. ABS print though.
Files updated on Thingiverse.
Olaf Krause check PM, updated version posted (was over 5 MB so couldn't attach here).
Almost certain I-Mate will work as well but not confirmed.
It's a huge amoubt of work with five different versions though, starting to regret it
It will be 1.7 because I forgot to rename them
I'll set all versions to 18.20 like in 1.6.
Let me test the 19.15 (your default) first. how was your ABS print - I assume there it should be no issue.
Yes it was good.
I'll set the tabs to ~18.20 mm and upload here, will be a little while.
I'm also moving the bearings down 1 mm so the fan duct clears easily against the bed frame, this will of course move the whole carriage up the same distance but I see no downside to it, the fan duct still fits below.
Yes. I could make the tabs a tiny bit wider. Figured 1 mm flex would be fine for all material. I don't have the stock carriage nearby but I think mine were 16 mm on that or so.
Update May 12, 2021
Hercules 1.7 is here. Changes:
- Hex nuts replaced with heated inserts everywhere, I will update assembly guide later.
- Extruder fan slightly wider opening on the sides.
- Bearing holders with a small redesign
- Added versions with narrower and wider bearing holders (hercules-1.7-all-bearing-sizes.zip) for those with too small or large bearings. For most people, the normal version will fit perfectly fine.
- Some aestetic changes here and there.
Once again, like always, a big thanks to Olaf Krause for feedback.
As mine - already agreed to take the "wider" version back and print the smallest one instead. Then we will see. Will be interesting to see what the other will say - two further ones are "on arrival".
I'm confident it will be a good fit.
Olaf Krause here you go buddy, three different sizes, 19.10, 19.15 and 19.20 mm diameter holders.
I suggest you print the 19.10 mm version for this particular customer since they are quite a bit off specs. I will stick with one version on Thingiverse (19.15 mm) since this is an anomaly.
Just for reference I just measured mine which are stock Qidi bearings: 18.99 +-0.01 mm all around.
