Quality of the ABS printed parts in the MK2 kit

Hi there,

First of all I want say that I am in love with the Prusa i3 MK2. You have pieced something together which is really awesome. Big high five for all of the PRUSA guys.

The MK2 works fine in my environment and setup. The autolevelling function is great and in combination with V2 Z-Axis calibration file it is even more topnotch.

But there is something which deteriorated my rating a little bit. To be more precise. There have been an issue with the quality of some provided parts in my MK2 kit.

For example please see below the shrinkages of the part were the extruder wheel is housed. I have had to use a washer to compensate the difference in size and to ensure a vertical mounting of the hotted.
The washer is a easy hotfix for the hotend 😉 but

Please do not recognize this as a pedantic comment or any other way to speak bad about something which is really great. But it is something which could be made easily better and faster to be assembled by having a second review on parts which are being shipped.

Best regards

Christoph
