I am putting together my first CNC. I boutht the printed part kit since my 3D printers are too small for some of the parts (2 X Bambu Labs A1 Mini). While assembling the X axis i accidentally dropped the X axis Max? it is the one that rides on the tube and the back wheel broke off. I am currently reprinting the wheel mounts (just incase the superglue doesnt hold) but i cant print the main body. Is there a way i can purchase just that one part?

Greetings and welcome to the V1 community forums.
Where are you located?
I’m a bit confused about which part your broke? It sounds like you broke the YZ plate (which is surprising as those are really stout).
Where did you get your printed parts from, and can you post a picture here of the damage?

Thank you for the quick response. Yes i broke the YZ plate for the max side (the one that rides on the tube). I didnt break the plate itself but the back side wheel assembly. I was able to super glue the wheel assembly back on since it was a relatively clean break. I am printing up extra wheel assembly parts now but my printers arent big enough to print the main YZ plate itself. I live in Macon, Ga. I will take pics this evening when i am back in my shop.
If you only broke the wheel part you should be able to just replace that without replacing the whole YZ plate
I think i probably can but i went a little overboard with the super glue so my concern is when i go to take the wheel assembly off it will tear part of the YZ plate with it. I have to point out that so far it is working fine. I got all of the belts installed and tensioned and just have to finish wiring it so i can start it up. All of this is “just in case” something goes wrong with it in the near future.

sure. I dont need the wheel blocks just the YZ max plate (the one that rides on the electrical conduit). Ill take a pic and post it this eveing so i can make sure we are on the same page but if so that would be awesome.
Yep I have it right here. Its the old style with smaller cutouts for the motor wires, so as long as you are using motors from V1 you will be good to go. Its been sitting on the shelf for a while.
