Problem with screw locking nut on i3 pro B 2017
Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2017 7:12 pm
I have received 2017 model updated Geeetech i3 Pro B (updated version). It seems the manufacturer has changed the design of the Smooth rods and the aluminium locking nut to lock the rods. The locking nuts x 8 are listed number 20 on the part list. The diameter of the locking nut is slightly smaller to fit on to the smoothing rids and the screws to tighten the locking nuts have different thread size. They just do not screw in. I have asked for replacement and waiting for their arrival. Does anyone has any experience regarding fitting screw locking nuts.
My thinking is: Either smoothing rods have larger diameter or they have been made thicker for tighter fit and supplied with older rings with smaller diameter.
