Play in gantry for y axis

Does everyone have this much play in there Gantry? When you push back towards home in has a ton of play sitting on the y axis tubes. I think this is what is giving me these awful cuts when it is traveling in that direction.

And just realized I am an idiot, and reread the instructions and missed the entire step of tightening the bolt, guess that’s what you get when you have someone helping you put it together

I really wish we had torque specs on all the connectors. But that bolt…that bolt had a torque spec. :laughing:

Don’t beat yourself up. This is a pretty complex assembly even with brilliant instructions (I printed out and missed both of the videos…doh!)
