PSA check your gantry screws, found mine were loose while doing a rebuild.
TipsYour blue wheels are cute :D
Thanks
where did you get them
Things I never knew I needed until now.
Need to swap mines, lol
When those get loose, the gantry starts to sag in an unpredictable way. So you end up releveling the bed more often than normal. Or you install a CR-Touch, forget about the gantry screws, and find out a while later like I did...
I also love those blue wheels.
Yeah, it was loose enough that when I would push or pull the z by hand it would change it
Google. Ender 3 x gantry rework there is a example YouTube video by edge of tech about maintenance
Mine was the nozzle part. The 2 screws that hold it onto the plate has came loose and I only found out when I went to change the nozzle when it would print anything properly
When you get the wheeeels, I looked on Amazon couldn’t find any
AliExpress, there’s only one seller. 3Dmellow Warning though they are not cheap.
3Dmellow’s stuff seems to be pretty good quality at least.
Yup, the wheels are super nice. They have a brass spacer between the bearings.
$10 isn't that bad
Times 4, did the 3 on both sides and the extruder
Get rid of those split ring lock washers. The don't help retain the screw and in some case can help the screw loosen.
Yeah these are common spots where screws get loose, I still not sure why tho
I'd like to think people would check screws when rebuilding their printer. Hard not to I guess
I’m talking check if they’re loose regardless, I think I was having issues with bed level because the X was flopping up and down.
Oh in that case yea, but I'd think it'd be fairly obvious the gantry was moving
