Hello everyone welcome to my build thread.
Just started my build last night so far so good.
Looking good!
Nice progress!
Finally got it running!
Think it took me 10 hours or so in 1 hours increments.
Currently surfacing a piece of junk MDF spoil board with a 1" shell mill and I’m really impressed with the finish. Don’t even need to tram it. Z makes a funny sound and but I think it’ll go away on its own.
Did you put super lube on the lead screws?
Guess I needed more
that was gonna be my exact reply… been there and done that last night LOL
It happens a LOT. I went back and forth on adding it to my prebuilds before I ship them. And because of how many of these type post I see, I go ahead and lube them good before they leave here just so I know its good. And they get the little tube that comes in the kit so they can lube it more as it needs it.
I couldn’t find my little tube that came with the parts so I hit with a shot of Teflon spray ever so lightly near top where it made the noise
I have quite a few of the little tubes around but they end up aggravating me most of the time. I started buying it in a larger tube like this…
But after using up most of the last one I bought, I decided to get this…
I usually end up “painting” it on with an acid brush so now I can just dip the brush in instead of making a mess with the tube lol.
Usually when I do one machine I do them all, several printers, LR4 and Primo
