This is the printer that we won in the Hack-a-Day contest about 2 months ago. It arrived at my house last night, so I decided to open it up and inspect the contents. That’s when I saw it…
Broken upper left Z axis guide rail bracket!
I lifted it out of the box and discovered that the left Z axis motor mount was also broken:
Broken upper left guide rail bracket and left Z motor mount.
A quick trip to the Prusa web site found STL files ready for printing…
New motor mount and upper left guide rail clamp printing on UMMD.
Finally, printed parts installed…
Broken parts replaced.
Alas, it appears that the lead screw is bent- you can see it wobbling when it rotates. I’ll be contacting Mr. Prusa for a replacement…
