The threaded rod fit into the bearing for the z axis is REALLY tight. I have not forced it yet, but in order to get the bearing on the threaded rod I am certainly going to have to use a mallet or whatever. Even then I am not certain it will work out. This is the threaded rod and bearing I bought in the kit from V1.
Any suggestions? Or am I missing something obvious. I have check with other 608 bearings I have and it’s the same issue.
If you are having a hard time getting the lead screw through the bearing, lightly sand or file the top 25mm (1″) or so of the lead screw. It can be a tight fit.
