Sliding Block rubs up against top of frame - Normal?

Posted · Sliding Block rubs up against top of frame - Normal?

Hey all,

My front sliding block, when assembled like this:

has almost no clearance with the top of the frame. My sliding blocks don't exactly sit perfectly vertical (although I think that changes once I tighten the belts) but the slight lean causes some undue friction on the top of the frame when moving the tread by hand.

Will all of this be fixed once I tighten the pulleys later?

Thanks,

Jared

    PS. All shafts are well secured in place. Blocks are not leaning over. The sealing is just closer to the block than the other side.

    When looking at the panel It does look straight either.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
