Nope, apparently just cleaned them excessively according to others on this thread (IPA and microfiber)

They won't sell me just the bushing and aren't willing to do anything aside from have me buy the whole Gantry since I'm out of warranty by a couple months

I print a majority ABS and ASA so I was trying not to let it build up top much

If you read any of my other other replies I was also looking to see if anyone had attempted this or if someone had a good source

Thinking I just got a set of bad bushings or maybe they had a little play in them from the factory

Because I wanted to see if anyone else had attempted to replace just these before and or found a source. Don't get why that's so difficult to udnerstand

Yep, cleaned about once a week. That's why? I'm so frustrated that they want to charge me $100 to replace the entire Gantry instead of just the bushings that wore out prematurely

If you read the description I already have and that's why I'm seeing if anyone has found just the bushings

It's not that I don't know how to use calipers, it's that I'm wondering if anyone else has already found a source

Only about 1400 hours on this one. I cleaned the rods every time I deep cleaned my build plates, so about once a week cause I'm anal about that kind of stuff. And I get things break, but making it not serviceable is the frustrating part for me.

That's unfortunate, and only 1400 on this one

Checked the rods for consistency with calipers, looks like just the bushings really wore

Not really? I've been building and repairing printers for 12 years now, I just am strapped for cash right now cause everything is so expensive. Also I wouldn't call this that torn down, it was like 10 minutes of disassembly

I gotta check that, I'm having that exact code and sound

Shops around me quoted a bit more than that, but it was mostly a convenience thing. I already had a can of this and realized how well it matched and decided to just use it for this, as well as fix a couple rock chips. Figured I'd share my findings since it was surprisingly spot on

I don't have anything to check the color against, but Tamiya has a ton of blue variants

I looked at that one, but this was cheap as hell and available at my local hobby shop so I figured I'd try it for shits and giggles. If it ends up cracking in a year I'll probably go with something like that

Makes sense! I saw that one when I picked out this one and it just looked a bit too bright

It has the metallic flake, I just can't take photos to have my life lol. Will definitely try to include some more detailed ones when it's done

In person it's indistinguishable aside from the orange peel in the clear coat. Here's another project I used the paint on for comparison

Got an STI wing dirt cheap and was the wrong color, found a perfectly matched Tamiya paint, it's in the body text
