My right threaded rod was just exactly like yours. I could roll in on the counter top and hear and see the bend. I ordered a new rod from Graingers. I think it was about 36" long. Enough for three new rods. Not perfectly straight but much better. It came in a heavy duty cardboard tube. I called one place they told me that they fastened theirs to a wood strip for shipment.by Carl334 - Prusa i3 and variants
First post noob to 3D printing. Finished building machine (Hictop I3 Prusa from Amazon) and have a couple problems: first just how small of a hole is in the nozzle? Very first try at loading with filament nozzle clogged. The only thing I could find that was small enough to clean the nozzle was one strand of copper wire from an stranded 16 ga electrical cord. Really really small! What nozzle sizby Carl334 - Prusa i3 and variants
