The build went great but have a few questions after using it for two weeks.
1) twice the bottom eccentric nut has come off or loosened causing the Z bracket to flex or worse. I applied thread lock but today the eccentric nut just loosened. Is there a check list I should go over before every use? I wouldn't think I had to check everything?
2) I have bought a vacuum attachment so I don't have to follow the bit around with my nozzle which now has a few battle scars.
3) frustrating with the Drooping Drag Chain. the Y limit switch kicks it out a bit but the whole assembly flops off whenever I cut to the left half. Any solutions, I can't be the only one with a floppy Drag Chain?
Everything else was fantastic....Technically #2 is a fault just a headache for me.
Please help with # 1 and #3....

Re: dropping drag chain
Thank you
1) Will conduct a check list of items before using from now on. Guess its no different than my flight check
2) Solution in the mail pending thursday delivery.
3) I have double stick tape no issue but the drag chain still hangs off the back and at time tumbles off. So my solution to that is a guard at the most extreme Y to prevent it falling. Simple Aluminum bent hanger, double stick tape to back of tube. PERFECT
Thanks again for support.

Floppy Drag Chain would be a great band name...just saying.
