I was just going over the TAZ we recently got, and noticed that the rod bearings were very loose on the rod. It seemed like I could slip a piece of paper in between the rod and bearing on one side. I specifically noticed this on the X-carriage. you could easilly wobble the carriage.

I know there has to be some room for sliding but this seemed excessive. Anyone else notice this? Perhaps a loose batch of bushings are out there?

It has been printing, but I doubt 0.1mm “print tolerance” accuracy is possible (like the specs call out for).

I’ll see if I can measure the gap somehow.
