@deckingman I have no idea what you're referring to...

@mrehorstdmd I remember reading about a clever way to attach a large heated to bed which would compensate for sideways thermal expansion that might cause binding of the linear guides. I don't remember the exact details but I thought that was you. Clearly I must have been mistaken. Apologies.

@deckingman @mrehorstdmd I think you mean this blog post where the bed is mounted on ball-head screws and one (some?) of the counterparts are slots.

Yes, I think that was the one but as I said, I didn't read it fully so might have been wrong about the thermal expansion part.

OK, yes, the bed is on a kinematic mount that allows it to expand, and the X axis linear guide uses two bearing blocks, one of which allows the printer's frame to expand without side-loading the Y axis linear guides.
Here are the relevant links:
