New 'Ender 3 Pro' came with two identical right-side vertical extrusions
I was hoping for some help from someone who owns an Ender 3 Pro. I just received mine yesterday. My problem is that I received two identical 'right side' vertical aluminum extrusions. The right one has the two pre-drilled holes set farther apart for mounting the power supply. The left vertical (which I'm missing) has 2 holes drilled towards the bottom end for mounting the Z-axis motor. I've already contacted the seller and they are shipping me that missing left one, but it's going to take 10 days from China (:mad:). Having two right verticals puts a stop to me putting this printer together since I can't mount the Z-axis motor. However, I'd like to take a whack at drilling the two missing holes I need into one of the two right pieces to convert it into a left one (I doubt they'll ask me to ship one of them back). At least this way I can get it going until they send me the missing part. I have the ability to drill these holes accurately (drill press) and the proper tools to tap the holes (they are M4 with a 0.7 tooth pitch according to my tooth gauge). The distance between the two holes should center up in the two vertical aluminum slots perfectly, however my problem is that I don't know how high or low to mount the motor on the vertical extrusion. Can someone who owns this printer (pro version) please take a measurement and tell me how much of a gap there is between the bottom of the Z-axis motor and the horizontal base? Thanks in advance for any help!
