Building the printer right now, near the end, I realized the Y axis is not even, one side of it is tilted and not straight. saw a bunch of videos and articles that say to untighten, reposition, and retighten the eccentric nuts, but that doesn’t help either. can anyone help?

do you mean the X axis? the gantry?

y is the beds axis do you mean the one the hotend is on?

@narrow holly oops yeah the X

if the reassembly does not work i have no idea.. @modern notch go you some

it's a flawed design. the real solution is a dual z mod

it's a flawed design. the real solution is a dual z mod
oh, what’s that?
/what does it do
modern notch
adds a second z stepper motor and leadscrew so the right side of the gantry isn't just held up by dreams
they sell kits on amazon

oh, is that the only way to fix this?

i’m not sure, but i think it looks like the reason is because of the wheels? it’s fine when i keep it up, but if i manually push it down a little, it’s uneven. trying to tighten the wheels, but wheels tension won’t change. is this normal?
modern notch
Yeah. It's s bad design.
elfin spruce
Yeah. It's s bad design.
oh, so id have to get the mod?
modern notch
That's really the proper fix
elfin spruce
ah, okay will look at that. thanks
elfin spruce
That's really the proper fix
i got it fixed, but question, when I autohome, both the nozzle axis and the bed axis hit their limit and make a very weird noise. especially the bed, it just moves all the way to the back and keeps pushing even tho it cant go further, and then autohome just doesnt work anymore. why is that?
modern notch
please make a video of homing, from start to finish

my first guess would be a loose connection on wire for the Y stepper (the one behind the bed)

this one?
actually
modern notch
I don't know what I'm looking at
elfin spruce
theres nothing under the bed to hit the limit switch/button
modern notch
how was it ever working then? 😛
elfin spruce
heres a better picture
have no clue, but dont know what im missing, followed 2 videos perfectly
or could the bed maybe be too high?
like this is supposed to hit the switch?
modern notch
it looks like the wheels are in the wrong groove
elfin spruce
yeah no its in the right spot, other videos show it in the same groove
i have no clue lol
modern notch
is the bed hitting that stepper motor?
maybe your clip even is hitting that stepper motor? 😐
elfin spruce
yeah the bed is hitting the motor, but cant lower the motor, so might have to rise the bed?
i can change the angle of the motor but even after it still hits it
modern notch
move that bed clip and/or raise the bed
elfin spruce
yeah clip wouldnt help, gonna try to raise
elfin spruce
move that bed clip and/or raise the bed
okay i got everything physical working, so thank you a lot for that
now stuck on a printing issue

This really doesnt seem right. Too much tension on the springs. So adjusting the bed by turning the knobs should be easy till moderate use of force. Yours seem like you can hardly turn them what will lead to further issues later with that
But the wheels seem to be in the right Spot. That Switch is you y-endstop. Its important that this switch is been pushed so you printer has an idea where your bed is. Its called "homing"

That referces also to that issue. When your Switch inst pushed the motor keeps pulling and pulling because your endstop isnt pushed.

ah yeah, took a bit but figured that out
