Would anybody be able to help me with an issue I’m having getting the X-Carriage onto the makerslide for the 750mm kit? I’ve gone back and stepped through the X-Carriage assembly twice now, matching part numbers and views from photos and I’m not able to understand what the issue is. I know this sounds like a silly issue to have, but I’m getting desperate.
I’ve attached some (bad) photos, but it’s hard to think of a way to capture the issue while holding everything by myself. Here is the step I am at in the instructions (in case I’m doing a bad job of explaining things, which I usually do).
I’ve actually gouged the wheels trying to fit it together
My best idea was to loosen all four bolts holding the V-Wheels to create a bit of wiggle room, but even this didn’t help.
In the image with my lazy photoshop, I tried to illustrate my best guess as to why these aren’t going together. I don’t know that this is at all the case, or if it is the case by design, but… It seems that the gaps (pink boxes) between the top an bottom of the plate and the V-wheels aren’t consistent. Two corners appear to have slightly larger gaps that the other two. Also, the corners (yellow lines) don’t appear to be very square.
Like I said, I know this is a silly problem to have, but it’s also an incredibly frustrating one, so if you’re able to take a moment and help me, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I really need to get this thing together. I REALLY hope I’m just overlooking something obvious here. Thanks in advance. I apologize if this isn’t in the right place of the forums.
