X-axis issues
I think I've got a defective X-end-motor item.
Every hole is too small on it, I had to enlarge them all with a file, the screws and the 8mm for the rods.
But not enough for the rods, a crack appeared on the rods ones, alongside the rods 🙁
The holes for the M2x12 screws that fix the X-endstop where 0.3 or 0.4mm diameter...
I had not issues with the bearings which was the main concern on the comments on the assembly guide (although they need some effort to get into their place)
The item seems still in one piece. How critical would this be?
Is this piece subjected to a high amount of stress?
Is there any way to fix? Acetone or something? would it be worth dissasembling and trying to fix it?
Thanks in advance

It will probably be fine but you could use acetone or superglue for a repair.
You could either contact support (use Live Chat on shop pages) and give then a link to this thread, or you could simply complete the build and get the printer working, then print a replacement part.
