The 2 nuts are counter screwed, so they cancel each other out and have a spring washer inside, so they hold extremely tight and don't budge without some serious effort, but we'll see how it goes printing, so far so good no movement.
I ended up with a billion nuts and screws so can fix if need be, but have also seen better ones on thingiverse (printed Y idlers) and they look much better.
I think that's what I love about this design, sooo many printable parts, so many upgrades... I'm having a blast adding stuff to it now! My aluminum frame was done, but since I cheaped out and got it done at 4mm it flexes so getting a new one done at 6mm! solid! my brother in law has pneumonia too so no mig welding for a bit or cutting, so for now using the perspex clear frame that came with it (its one of those aurora z605 clones.. and not even that, a clone of a clone...)
It came with a Melzi mini reprap board, which is crap (doesn't support LCD ) but was good for a quick component test and make sure was all ok before I cleaned up the wiring, so now the ramps will replace it with the nice cheap and nasty sainsmart LCD controller I got.
I can't believe how cheap this stuff is now... you can get an entire ramps kit with LCD for under $100 now... and ive seen some that come with an MK2a hotbed or mk2b for about $120 all up..
New to 3d printing looking for...
