    No the one that seats into the Z carriage. The part with the x carriage that slides back and forth.

    You should watch the assembly videos to learn the nomenclature.

    I did exactly that as well. So far (many prints later) it is still good.

    If the threaded rods are in fact spinning, then the nuts aren't up inside their pockets in the gantry. Lift the gantry with your hand up a few inches then spin each nut up the threaded rod an inch or so. Drop the gantry back down and make sure both nuts go up inside their pockets.

    Awesome. That 'joint' does not get a lot of stress (just the rotational force of the rod in the coupler) so I suspect it is a lifetime fix.
