MK4/S X axis smooth rod tolerance?
Hello,
While upgrading my MK3 to the MK4S I noticed that one of the X axis smooth rods has been scored by a bearing on the old X carriage. Wishing to avoid extra shipping fees I found a local supplier for the replacement rods, however it appears that they're slightly too long (374mm vs 371mm for the originals by my measurement). Are these likely to work, or should I return them?
Kind regards,
Filip
RE: MK4/S X axis smooth rod tolerance?
the Prusa website spares page says 370mm for X axis

the X axis uses the rod length to set the spacing for the Z Bearings, so I would be wary of 374mm
