| * Y limit switch was missing | * The backlash nut receiving the Z rod is too far to the back (probably from irregularities in the folding process of the bracket holding it). This can be solved by bringing the Z motor back, see those thingiverse attempt to fix this common problem (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2816946, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2752080, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2526607). My take on it was to make a custom adjustable bracket out of aluminum corner I had laying around https://i.imgur.com/bNhXhOz.jpg . |
| * The backlash nut receiving the Z rod is too far to the back (probably from irregularities in the folding process of the bracket holding it). This can be solved by either bringing the Z motor back, of by bringing the backplate of the X axis forward using smaller spacers. | * issue : https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/15624 |

| | Still cheaper than a Prusa, I have two hot ends I can swap (one for PLA, one for Nylon-CF), the Nylon-CF setup is top notch, the controler board is the best there is, I have autoleveling, and it (mainly) fits inside my ikea box :) :) (which acts as an enclosure, necessary for nylon). |
