Z rod not vertical

X-Carve Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

When mounting the z rod, it is not vertical… (Rod is, but bearing seems to hold it not vertical )

Problem is when adjusting the wheels , the tension is different at bottom then at top.

What to do?
I can put high tension on the tiling belt, but I think that’s to much for the stepper.

Many thanks,

update:
did some lubricant on the rod, reversed the derlin nut and searched for the correct belt tension and it’s much better now.
I will mount my dewalt 611 router later, and see what happens.

All the instru: tell you to do is slide motor back an lock the screws I put as much pressure that I could, My 8mm rod straight up and down, you might want to check to see if the top plate is square to maker rail with a small square…

It will straighten up when you put the delrin nut and mill bracket in place
