Hello. How did you solve the problem back then?
Probably better to ask @Mike-Toro3D for advice
You already found it, but for anyone looking for help check out my discord 🙂
I am not allowed to post a link, but you can find it in my vendor channel
you jsut need to realign your y rails
Yes, unfortunately I let myself be tempted to change the rail and it was already perfect before. That's why the Y rails should fit. So should I adjust them again?
if you work on the gantry you need to realign the y rails
if the new gantry is jsut 0.5mm longer or shorter the y rail carriages will grind
Yes, you could be right. I used extra end brackets with more play, but it could be that the position is not right. But it does sound scratchy when only one side is fixed and the other is completely loose. In the extrusion, the rail can only move slightly sideways. But I can try it, but I think that the pipe is also clamped too tightly.
make sure the gantry is aligned and the y rails, thats all you have to do
You mean loosen them and then retighten with the holder from Ratrig ? Or how do I do this for the best result ?
I can’t find it can you send me a link private ?
you use the jig oonly one one rail, the other rail will set its position automatically
Ah okay and then I have to move the x axis as near as possible to the screw that I tighten
And what about the x carriage do I have to tighten them bevor ?
