Hi All,
I'm new here, so forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions.
Over the last couple of weeks I picked up most of the parts for my Mendel and over the weekend I began my build.
The build went remarkably smoothly, thanks to the (for the most part) detailed instructions on the wiki and my machine is all but complete. The only place I went wrong in fact was when I misread an instruction or two... so noones fault but mine.
I am still missing a few pieces due to a delivery times and a lack of understanding about what was required ( M4 insert for extruder... DOH!!)
Also waiting for Gen6 electronics and hot end to arrive.
My question is over the new motor bracket for the X axis. I bought the plastic parts from RepRapLtd (very fast service) and they included the new bracket, but when I connect the motor the gear is not lined up with the bearings for the X axis. This is due to the gear having a shoulder and the bracket being thinner that the others I guess.
Obviously I can use some form of spacer to raise the motor by approx 10mm but I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything simple .
Other than that everything looks fine .. can't wait for the rest of the stuff to arrive so that I can start playing!
thanks
