All most done, needs some tuning

All most done, needs some tuning

What do you mean by that?

@Stephanie_A ​, the x rods are supposed to be perfectly parallel with the grid lines on the bed. That is what I was showing in that picture. They were off a little. So I needed to tune the frame connection to the y bed to line it up. Then I needed to retune the y rods for the bed as they too went non parallel.

@Jacob_Tozer ​, the y frame assembly was brutal. But once you know what you were looking for it got better. Making everything perfect sucks, it hard to get right. But fun to do. I will say this printer had excellent instructions. Online with high resolution pictures. Color coded arrows and everything. Really worth it. Especially for your first printer.

The instructions might be a bit unclear, but it absolutely doesn’t matter if you actually get X/Y parallel - the firmware will measure and correct for it automatically.

What about a non flat bed? Mine has a little hump in the middle.

also… how do you sync the z motors? That seems like something that need doing…

@Jordan_Cohen ​​ The printer has mesh bed compensation to deal with bed irregularities. I believe you run the Z axis against the top holders to align the Z axis.
