§3.9 Tuning the X Carriage, continued
D

4. If you can feel any slack movement in Pair 1 alone, make a
small adjustment to the eccentric position (
C
), and test again.
Repeat until there is no slack movement in line with these two
wheels. The pair is properly adjusted when there is no slack
movement when tested as in (
B
), but the rear wheel can be
rotated with a little effort.
5. Once Pair 1 is properly adjusted, move on to Pair 2. Do not
go back and forth between the two. Again, make small angle
adjustments until there is no slack movement in line with Pair
2, but the wheel can still be rotated by hand.
6. Once both wheel pairs are tuned, tighten the locknut using
the 2.5 mm Hex L-wrench and the 7 mm Low-profile Wrench.
7. Test that the carriage now rolls smoothly – with little effort,
and no excess slop – along the full length of the base rail,
from one X Endstop to the other (
D
).
