I am sorry for asking yet another question… I am new to cnc and to x carve.
I have seen a failure in the M5 lock nuts that I have seen before. They are separating as I am tighting them up. Is this just a defect in the part? I am going to pick up some at lowes today but want to know if I am just whining or is this normal?
The nylon is coming totally out. I am assembling the Gantry side plates. I have the fixed and adjustable wheels on and it’s 50/50 on ones that have the nylon separated from the nut.
Contact Inventables on this one for sure. They will definitely want to know if there is a quality issue with the nylock nuts. That should definitely not be happening.
I had the same issue. also about 50/50 chance for the nylon separating. I was considering getting some from lowes as well. Did that solve the problem for you?
