X Axis Wheels Sliding Out

Post by Wassup23 » Thu Dec 27, 2018 2:38 pm

On the A10 M series printer, the upper wheels that allow the extruder to move along the x axis seem very easy to slip out of their track, even with just a light touch. This usually results in them not hitting the appropriate endstop. So, the motor grinds when I try to home the device. It pretty much has full mobility, but the leftmost wheel slips out of the track right before the endstop or right after. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it :D

Figured it out! I tightened a nut on the underside of the carriage by the bottom wheel, resulting in a more secure grip. Just had to use one of the provided wrenches, must simpler than I had feared.
