I had previously posted about some horizontal line issues I’ve been having, and I tried a lot of the suggestions I got; Unfortunately the issue persists.

I saw a video today, where someone mentioned that these connections that are basically responsible for raising and lowering the printer head should be somewhat loose, and not tight (as I had them).

Does anyone know if this is true? The video creator said that it is to allow for some ‘forgiveness’ between the two screws that drive the printer head up and down.

    No problem, hope you find the cuse. Oh broken parts…I would inspect all mechanics and obviously clean and relube

    I dont think you can remove threaded rod from your motor, but im not 100%. There are motors with motor coupler connecting to threaded rod (which can be simmilar issue if you dont leave a tiny gap between motor shaft and rod).
