    Hello everyone. I have kind of a strange question. I was wondering if it's possible to tighten the y axis bolts that are u get the bed. I keep turning them, but they simply don't. I'm assuming it's because the nut isn't right against it, but I was curious.

    Also the right a axis down by the motor wobbles a little when it's going up and down while the left doesn't. I'm assuming the right lead screw might be slightly bent, but it doesn't seem to affect prints. Is this a huge issue? Thanks for any answers.

    The Bolts that go through the bed have nuts on the back side.

    It's probably not a bent threaded rod either. More likely it's just helical coupler misalignment. If it's not causing issues don't stress over it

    A freaking MEN.

    Both of my threaded rods wave like a leaf in the wind, but it does NOT impact the quality of my builds since the smooth rods do not budge.
