Y-Rails not tightening.

400 with enclosure. I am trying to attach my Y rails using the included M3x12 and 3030 Drop-in T-Nuts - M3. After tightening all the bolts, the rail still wiggles. I can tighten 5-6 of them and still slide the rail back and forth. Same bolts and nuts on the Z rails installed without an issue.

Hello did you find a solution ? I seem to have the same problem on one of the Z rails

have you tried unfastening the bolt almost entirely and then refastening? Sometimes the drop-in T-nuts dont rotate properly.

@icowally @jansi6133 if you haven't already, please contact [email protected], this is caused by a bad t-nut batch.

Sorry, should have posted a reply. I resolved it by picking up some 3030 t-nuts off Amazon.

Have you replaced the t-nuts on all rails or only on the faulty one ?

I really only had problems on the XY rails, but I did replace the nuts on the z-rails as well just to be safe.
