Interesting - looks like Folger have redesigned the extruder since the earlier version (I mean when the 2020 first came out). Originally, they didn't have a spring mechanism.

Yours doesn't have a spring? I thought I just couldn't see it in the pictures. How do they keep pressure between the idle pulley and drive gear?

Lcd is in a unmarked white bubble wrap bag. Make sure yuo take the ramp and Mage apart to check the solder connection. Try to peal the label off the hardware bag and stick it to piece of paper so you can check off parts and make notes. Happy build and remember to take your time to double check everything.

I would love to see some pictures of the new extruder drive front end, if someone could take a few and post them.

What part do you mean by the front end?

I have been printing out this mount. [www.thingiverse.com] I don't know if it's worth it or not it's probably going to hang over the front side just as much as the setup I have not using your mounting block I modified.

Went to put some lithium grease in the bearings on the Y carriage last night.
I just loosened the rods and backed them out enough to get inside the bearings.
Getting a bit of bearing noise now, hope I didn't bend the rods . Will try to see if I can get them aligned and quiet it down

These LM8UU bearings are starting to get on my nerves. When replacing the y-carriage this weekend, I noticed one of them had worn out a gasket and started chewing into the chrome rod. Replace all of them, ordered a new rod. I have maybe 6 hours on the new set and one of them is already so bad the grinding noise made me kill a print in progress. I think I finally may get around to installing the igus bushings I have (should have just done that this weekend, but wanted to save them for the x-carriage).
Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot, one of the nuts fell of one of the corner screws on the heatbed, and the screw was making the noise

I've had exactly the same thing happen, and also got vibration from the clips that I use to hold the glass down to the heated bed. And I think the aluminium bed acts like a big sounding board so things sound worse than they really are. That said, I'd like to hear how it works out with igus bushings, as I've considered doing that as well.
