After finding this picture, I'm no longer scratching my head. Thanks!!WillAdams wrote:Maybe this photo will help? Took apart my spindle carriage:
Nut on one side, the V-wheel is sandwiched between washers.
You show the wheels with eccentrics taking 2 washers.. The wheels on the other side take 2, too?

Correct. They need to be symmetrical so as to keep the carriage even.Dave Durant wrote:You show the wheels with eccentrics taking 2 washers.. The wheels on the other side take 2, too?

Re: ZAxis Assembly Interference
I'm too slow.. I was just coming back to edit out that question - I put 2 washers on each and it's smoooooth now..
But, while I'm here, is there any reason to not flip the bolt on the lower part of the spring? The ends that attach to the Z plate ears. It seems like if the nut was in the middle (towards the X plate) instead of the head, it would be far easier to install & tighten. The way it is in the drawing makes it difficult to put the hex wrench on.

Re: ZAxis Assembly Interference
Swapping that bolt around seems like a good idea to me (or use a hex head bolt there). It’s probably oriented as it is for symmetry. Might want to add a washer.
