UM2 service parts / upgrade.
Posted: July 17th, 2017, 2:00 pm
Hi guys,
I've got to the point where I think I want to service/replace parts of the printer and would like some help and or surgestions on the replacement parts i.e. Where to get the best parts. So..
A) replacement Belts.
B) replacement Pulleys
C) replacement 8mm Rods for X and Y axis
D) replacement 6mm rods for print head.
E) replacement slider bearings for 8mm rods.
F) replacement slider bearings for 6mm rods.
I'm tempted to add some extra bed levelling screw holes and add some move levelling screw assemblies into the back corners as I seem to have a tilt across the back which is annoying the hell out of me. And perhaps something to the centre. Gudo's assembly has increased rigidity and I really like it (Cheers Gudo) .
Also I wish I could obtain a ground glass plate, looking at the production standard for the glass plates they are tolerances at +-0.2mm flatness, which gives a 0.4mm difference, bloody annoying when trying to get a precise level flatness.
