There are two main problems:
1> The first few layers (upto about 1.5mm) bulge out and are not flat. The x-carriage is the worst offender. This means that when I bolt the pieces together the two surfaces do not mate flush so the bracket can rock along the x axis.
2> On the back of the x-carriage there are insets for 4 LM8UUs. They are a snug fit. They fitted on my original carriage, they fit on my first prototype for this modified carriage. They will not go in the x-carriage he printed for me. It may be down to the plastic he used. I requested ABS, I'm not sure if it is. To me ABS has a kinda processed cheese feel to it, his prints are shiney and brittle/hard with no "give".
Also neither piece needs support material to print, but he used "support everywhere" (in Cura speak) so the zip-tie slots on the x-carriage were filled with gunk along with the nut-traps and zip-tie holes on the bracket. I don't know what the working-practise is but if I was charging people for prints I would be doing the clean-up on the items.
As for your offer, it is appreciated but until 3dhubs support at least answer my emails, (they had time to send 2 or 3 emails when I placed the order.) they will not be getting any more money from me.
