This vid is just to add visual information about a bearing trick that I mentioned as a sort of hack in the previous video. It may be a cheap way to help folks with slight chronic misalignment problems on printers with rigid Z couplings that support the weight of the gantry.
Remember: this is just a hack, but it may well be worth a try since the parts are so cheap.
Here are the links to flexible couplings that I have used in the past.
