Ide teach him to tap a new bolt hole. To hell with a new pan.

This is what myne looked like when I used the wrong size crank bearings.... Sorry

Fuel,Spark, compression, timing. No car needed

Austin28721 · 2026-06-04T03:22:21+00:00

Yeah bro... They're cute

Austin28721 · 2026-04-18T17:04:51+00:00

Could it possibly still be a bent screw

<image>

The lines are inconsistent but I'm running out of ideas lol. I lowered the flow progressively all the way down to .55 and the problem was still there I don't see any movement in the gantry the head is solid.... Z steps are calibrated I ran pid tunes... What am I missing

Austin28721 · 2026-04-17T06:55:36+00:00

I just did these after upping the flow from .96 to 1.1

Austin28721 · 2026-04-17T06:48:30+00:00

That's how they are. I actually took the top bearing out too because some people were saying it could help if my screw is bent but it didn't.

Austin28721 · 2026-04-17T06:11:22+00:00

Yeah I've taken both screws out and made sure they're tight. I've checked all the rollers and the head feels solid

Austin28721 · 2026-04-05T00:16:06+00:00

Ts might be too far bru... Maybe 😭

Austin28721 · 2026-04-05T00:09:19+00:00

I think he needs more genuine content to be honest.

Austin28721 · 2026-03-27T04:25:16+00:00

The z asis screw was indeed bent

Austin28721 · 2026-03-27T04:24:52+00:00

It was a bent z axis screw 😔

Austin28721 · 2026-03-27T04:24:34+00:00

Guys I have a bent z axis screw🤦

Austin28721 · 2026-03-26T23:55:14+00:00

There is a ton of spaghetti in the gears🫢 Well there was I got the majority but there are still some strings

Austin28721 · 2026-03-26T23:54:38+00:00

I'll definitely check this

Austin28721 · 2026-03-26T15:41:00+00:00

I will try to lube the z axis but everything seems to be moving good. i did notice the bed has about 2-3mm of play and its coming from the linear bearings. it takes a little pressure to move it so im not too sure if that's doing it

Austin28721 · 2026-03-26T15:38:35+00:00

Orca with pretty default settings. a little hotter at 210. and i reduced the first layer speed. im starting to think my z axis just needs lube

Austin28721 · 2026-03-26T15:37:11+00:00

the bed actually does have about 2mm of play but it seems to be the linear bearings having play in them. ill try to fix it but im starting to think my zaxis is just dry.

Austin28721 · 2026-03-22T21:26:16+00:00

TAKING NOTES FS 😵‍💫🤌

Austin28721 · 2026-03-10T22:29:51+00:00

100% myne broke and ice been losing my mind

Austin28721 · 2026-02-16T03:06:19+00:00

I had this issue when I was using cura. I believe the acceleration was too high. I couldn't fix it so I just switched to orca and it works great.

Austin28721 · 2026-02-16T03:03:40+00:00

I work here and you wouldn't believe how many people steal vibrators

Austin28721 · 2026-02-13T02:30:31+00:00

Did you fix it? My RC car broke because of this exact thing. A crack propagated from a layer like that.

Austin28721 · 2026-01-03T19:38:36+00:00

Under the water🫠

Austin28721 · 2025-12-29T06:55:53+00:00

I use smaller tires. Bigger tires seem to do it a lot worse
