I have never dissmounted mine so I'm not sure how it looks.
But normally I would expect there to be a pice of flat surface for the screw so that it wont slide on the axis.
Also, if it work fine just after you tighten it but comes lose after a while, maybe due to vibrations.
Then try using a screw locking cement.
If you don't have one then you kan use woodglue or a little paint for nails on the treads.
Just dont use something to strong like cyano glue or epoxie.
Or if bying dedicated locking cement one of the stronger kinds because then you will need heat if you need to remove it.
Maybe you should check the status of the treads as well as normally it should be enough to just tighten firmly.
Yes you're right, there is a a piece of flat on the stepper. but twice a day, it becomes lose. For the next couple of days, i'll bend a small imbuss, to reach the screw in the assembled feeder.
The glue is a solution, i've already tought about. I was thinking about acetone dissoluble superglue. (You can put the stepper upside down in a shotglass for half an hour, then you can lose it. BE AWARE, that the stepper itself stay dry!!!) but i think the woodglue is the better alternative.
I'm quite careful about changing a 2.000 Bucks device, cause of making things worse. In another point of view, i have little bit the opinion, that these kinds of children' diseage should be obliterated on such a "expensive bestseller device", but even the transport mechanism is the error source no. one of the most printers. (totally inapprehensible in my opinion, if you look at such mass of very good community solutions for the different printer systems) but in this case, i can't print a new screw or stepper... .
