The foolproof fix for Z banding and misalignment? MirageC’s wobbleX

Recently I made a video testing some community fixes for Z wobble. They were very effective for their designers but unfortunately not suitable for me. MirageC saw that video and recommended I try his wobble X design, produced by Mellow. In this video, I test the original two printers (Creality Ender 3 and CR-10 Max), plus the Rat Rig V-core 3.

If you have nice idea for keeping the components pressed together without adding weight to the print, please post in the comments.

These parts were provided free of charge by MirageC/Mellow after agreeing to my review policy for the purposes of creating this test. All opinions expressed are my own.
