X axis carriage doesn't fit into the x axis (kit)  

Re: X axis carriage doesn't fit into the x axis (kit)

😯 that's pretty curious !
💡 seems that there is a dimensional inaccuracy of the x-carriage. like as if somebody compensated the abs shrinkage twice...
➡ i'm going to check my distances later on, when i'm back at home.

Re: X axis carriage doesn't fit into the x axis (kit)

➡ ok, i just measured the distances at the left, the right and the x-carriage.
at the x-carriage i've gap of 36.68mm between the rods, at the right and left x-end i've got 36.75mm.
i checked my bearings with exactly 15.00mm and the rods with 8.00mm.

so to compare your measurement (between the bearings) with mine (between the rods), i can deliver following values:
29.75mm @ x-end idler
29.75mm @ x-end motor
29.68mm @ x-carriage

❓ btw: did you change the pictures meanwhile ? i'm pretty sure that i could read your measuring at the lcd of the vernier calliper when watching your post at my office.

➡ anyhow: just check that the bearings have "clicked" correctly into the x-carriage. i guess something is blocking their proper assembly.

Thanks for checking this for me!
I haven't changed the photos, it might be some difference in brightness between work/home monitors.
I've mounted and then unmounted the x carriage more than 3 times to make sure everything snaps in. Although, when it snaps in, it gets wider. So it's definitely a defective part. Will try to print the x carriage part somewhere in my local city.

Thanks again!

💡 thanks for that info, so i was able to check my hdmi-monitor settings here... and i noticed that it was configured for tv stuff (sRGB 16-255 instead of sRGB 0-255)... so the callipers display of the first and the last measurement was nearly black.
