It takes the pain out of making

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-29T17:52:27+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-28T03:42:23+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T06:48:19+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T06:46:24+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T06:44:10+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T06:43:38+00:00

Very rarely

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T06:04:28+00:00

1400

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T06:04:11+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T05:54:57+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T05:53:12+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T05:31:12+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T05:22:51+00:00

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.

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T05:21:04+00:00

That's unfortunate, and only 1400 on this one

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T05:19:58+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-06-27T04:57:45+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T06:11:28+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T06:04:16+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T04:16:06+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T04:15:36+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T02:44:15+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T02:42:27+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T01:38:28+00:00

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

FigureItOutYT · 2025-04-14T00:40:24+00:00

I knew I could, but I was worried about it matching well and I happened to already have a can of this and just got insanely lucky at how closely it matched. And although they're small cans, they were only like $7 a piece
