out of marbles

WHY DID WE NOT INSERT THIS NUT BEFORE?

jesus christ. i have 500mm printer, i cant just position the printer wherever i want for easy access . took way too much effort than it needed to

i believe hudsonjoe is incorrect. someone correct me, if im wrong lol.

fan needs to blow IN TO the heatsink, so sticker towards the heatsink... or if you dont want to trust the sticker:

"If the fan blades look rounded—that is, they're curving away from you—that's the intake side. (For the more technical out there: The convex side of the fan blades is the intake side.) Fan blades curving toward you? That's the exhaust side."

im using mosquito hotend, but all should be the same: https://support.sliceengineering.com/por....

my gantry is a bit skewed, but yeah cant do much about it, i tried tightening different belts and it is what it is

okay i finally am done with this step... after 2+ hours. i hope. lots of sanding manually and with dremel... my parts were super tight

okay. after 20+ minutes... i finally managed to get it one out with allen key and a hammer. in the end, it worked that i angled allen key to left and right, instead of up and down...

now for the second one...

good &&^&^$^ luck getting it out with gentle taps... i used woodworking f clamp to get the black block in... it aint &&^&^$^ coming out... i'll update if i find a way...

sorry but its a trash system with zero warnings not to force the part in.

MAKE SURE THAT BOTH BLACK PRINTED BLOCKS SLIDE IN AND OUT EASILY... dont force them in like some of us... and then you cant properly tension/untension the belt...

sand the blocks until they go in and out

i gave up trying to do it per instructions.

instead i took of t-nuts, slid them on to the extrusion, and placed 3d printed assembly on the extrusion, and slid t-nuts back in... much simpler

make sure before you put anything on the printer, to force M6 bolts into the green printed part so they are flush. I had to put all my weight on the metal against the table, to force the bolts to go in, holes were a bit tight.

I knew it was going to be a juicy one, because it has comments already :D

i couldnt just flip the printer because its 500mm size and its getting heavy AF.

I took allen key size 4, and placed T nut behind and took size 4 allen through the hole, so i could line the t nut perfectly.

then i jammed from behind the t nut, a 2.5 size allen key, so that forced t-nut to be against the printed part. then I pushed in the M6 bolt.

And when i saw that the bolt grabbed the t nut, i removed the allen key from behind, so that the t-nut can spin around properly.
