Topic: Replacing the Z screw with finer pitch on a SD3
Hey guys, I have been having some pretty significant Z banding lately and am looking at replacing my Z screw with either a much finer pitch (M3 or similar) or a proper ball screw if I can snag one from my boss for cheap enough. However, all the guides and tutorials for replacing the Z screw are built around the older Z carriage with the wooden platform. Mine is the metal one and the threaded nut seems to be a part of the assembly itself. I was wondering if anybody had any experience in changing the screw out on one of these aluminum jobbies.
Thanks!
