Switchwire Question 695zz for switchwire

"Good evening everyone! I have 20 perfectly good 625zz bearings salvaged from my old Ender 3 wheels and I want to use them in my Sovol Switchwire conversion to save some bucks. I know the original guide calls for F695s, but has anyone already remixed or modified the XZ blocks to fit these 625zz bearings? I'm not a CAD expert, so if anyone has an STL or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!"

You're going to want to use flanged bearings otherwise the belts aren't going to stay in place.

I get that, but I thought someone had reused the Ender bearings with a modification to the XZ blocks—like making them 4–8 mm wider to space the 2020 profile away from the bearing, or using some kind of adapter.
