Thanks for the info.?? I guess I'll stick with PETG for now.?
Previous PLA+ brackets did start to warp in the sun, but hopefully
PETG will stay solid.
Yes, I did print the orientation you describe, so that the
largest flat surface is against the print bed.? The only
unsupported overhang is the 1mm bearing spacer lip.?? I got some
stringing there, but easily cleaned them up with stepper drill bit
and dremel when I sized for the bearings.? I had to do similar
touching up with other brackets as well, as I'm sure you have.
Always happy to tinker and share.? I hope the brackets work out
well for both of us.? Good luck with it.
Thanks,
-Tony

Tony,
I actually like PETG better. It seems to me a harder plastic and
more rigid. But all I have right now is ASA.
I am not an expert on 3d printing but I have not seen shrinkage
with ASA.
My printer is open bed also. But I have it in a enclosed room and
use a space heater to raise the temperature.?
I have a large 3 sided box around the printer to try to prevent
drafts. As such I have seen no issues with ASA.
I printed your DIY spring loaded components in ASA with no issues.
How was your print orientation? Was it as shown in the STL file
with the worm side up and the gear side down on the base?
Thanks again I will let you know how it goes. I really appreciate
your work.
Brent
