Ok so I may have posted that update to early!
How long have I had this printer? Not long. Two days is it, something like that.
I've only printed during the evening in those two days and now this...
So do I get another one? I thought it was supposed to be third time lucky. Maybe its fourth or fifth tho.
I'm not the only one having this problem.
This is getting to be too much!!!
wow. how the hell did that happen?
that takes some serious force to break it.. just checked all of my printers, none of them have this..
was this like that when you got it? how did it happen?
I'm not sure how or when, this is my third replacement printer in less than a week. Sounds like you've been really lucky with yours. 3DGBIRE checked this one before they sent it out to make sure it had none of the other problems the first two had. To be fair to them it hasn't. I found this last night while I was setting up to profile some PETG. I did check it over when I got this one two days ago and I never noticed it then. I've read that they can be over stressed on assembly or damaged in the post. It looks like more production/assembly problems to me. I won't hear from 3DBGIRE until Monday, so it looks like I've got the weekend to think about where to go with this now. It's good to hear there are people out there that are not having problems. I'm not sure if a fourth one is on the cards, the customer service is great, but from what I've seen this last week it needs to be.
so it was probably like this when you got it?
it's just that that's an injection molded piece. the fact that it broke along that line is just plain weird.. that requires some really high force..
Possibly, maybe it's just opened up and it was there before. Melka has the same issue under his "UM3 stopped midpoint" post. I can see how snapping the rods into place would make it break in exactly that place. I'm guessing the rods should be pushed in from the side, like putting a peg in a hole. Possibly why some are like it and others are not, depending on the assembler or instruction.
