    please help. when. i opened the printer it was in pieces. the extruder assembly was loose and out of it cop links. it was benign the metal but I think I have fixed it. although the coupler is cracked!!!

    there are two wires I suspect are for the switches to stop the up and down movement. which one is negative and which one is positive. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

    the smooth rods should have a tight fit, if you watch the installation videos on the official youtube channel they are slightly hammered in, it should be enough to stabilize it for the cubes and support prints if you don't get any major calibration issues

    no I mean I cannot fix them in or even print off new ones becuase I pretty much have to hold the assembly straight. it is wonky at the moment.

    I that a slightly thicker gauge wire t home. can I use it as a extension for the x-axis switch? as a. extension of 2 cm?
