MakerGear Forum

I was given a Makergear and I had it working fine however I decided to upgrade the power supply to also have V4 nozzle. However, after I installed everything and followed instructions that I found on makergear wiki I ran into a problem when printing, there is a gap between where my nozzle and bed are. It's like the nozzle is too short, it's not a leveling issue, when I raise the bed all the way up until it stops, the nozzle should touch the bed but it does not. did I miss something in the installation of the new nozzle?

That is a rev D machine so you will have to adjust the bolt that hits the Z stop micro switch on the left side of the bed.

The problem comes from those silver L brackets. They hit the bed no matter how much I adjust the Z stop. The v3b nozzle I had on there had a longer neck than this one which is why I am thinking its missing something. Or can I remove those silver brackets from the printer altogether or what? Thanks

What ever those silver blocks are (lights maybe?).... yeah they have to go. That is not a stock thing that comes on the printer.

After that then you can adjust the z-stop bolt.

Okay, this printer was given to me and used to be a display where anyone can print so I guess whoever had it added those. I wasn't sure if they were necessary or not. Thank you.

BTW... the first thing your going to want to print is a new motor mount yours is already cracked and will lead to problems. (or better yet buy the metal one.)


STL's for the mount can be found Here

Yeah Ive already ordered another one after I accidentally cracked that one. Thanks.
