Did you never have problems with shifts in z direction? I tried a flexible coupler on my UMO once and then immediately removed it again. No. Though bought a used Hictop an they shipped it assembled sort of. They removed the top Aluminum Frame an laid into a box loosely with the steppers still attac...
