new to me oneup

[mr_intensity]

I am on a multi-year odyssey with my OneUp V2 Kit.  It started when I bought V2 at Micro Center, near Cleveland, hundreds of miles away from home.  One missing part.  One broken part.  No support from Q3D.  Too far away to return it.  I (badly) reverse-engineered the parts, and had a friend 3D print them.  I have a Build Log elsewhere on this forum, if you are looking for entertainment.

I am running the stock X-Carriage, complete with "droop."  I'm going to get a friend to print up Thingiverse thing 1615594 (one of the many "pulley" solutions) to straighten that up.  I was considering using Thingiverse thing 1503687 to replace my X-Carriage, until I realized that it would require a Bowden extruder.  I'll pass on that, for now.

I'm trying to think of a way for you to brace the z-rods.  I remember seeing some braces out on Thingiverse, but they braced the bottom, and I think you need to really stabilize the top to stop the sway.
