HELP!!! Aligning slide rails for the bed.

[CBPrints]

Hey guys,

I'm putting together a prusa i3 reprap and I'm having trouble aligning the smooth rod rails that the bed slides on, in the Y axis.

It just seems like its not moving freely and that it needs force.

It shouldn't be like that haha, any info helps!

Thanks!

Loosen off the ends so they move freely, run the bed back and forth and the ends should adjust themselves to the correct distance, allowing the bed to move freely. Tighten each nut on the holders an equal number of turns so the holders don't move and you should be good to go. Do this with the belt loose to make sure that's not throwing you off.
