Acceptable Level of Wobble (runout?) in Z-Axis Screw
Posted
· Acceptable Level of Wobble (runout?) in Z-Axis Screw
Ideally you don't want any wobble but the 2 linear bearings not the screw is what keeps it stable. If they have lots of wobble then you have a problem.
You maybe able to loosen the motor and tighten it again to try and line it up central.
A lot of people don't like how the bed sticks out and some put stiffeners to stop any wobble but that's on the plate not the lead screw.

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
