The threaded rod fit into the bearing for the z axis is REALLY tight. I have not forced it yet, but in order to get the bearing on the threaded rod I am certainly going to have to use a mallet or whatever. Even then I am not certain it will work out. This is the threaded rod and bearing I bought in the kit from V1.
Any suggestions? Or am I missing something obvious. I have check with other 608 bearings I have and it’s the same issue.
Thanks! Bill
Is it the right sized rod? 8mm should have some slack. Could be a burr on the rod as well.
Yes it is the right sized rod - it is the threaded rod and bearing that came with the kit ordered from V1. No burrs. Edges on the rod a smooth.
Any suggestions?
If you are having a hard time getting the lead screw through the bearing, lightly sand or file the top 25mm (1″) or so of the lead screw. It can be a tight fit.
Got it! Thanks Ryan!
That worked fine!
