We did that here, as well as on the y axis rod on the right. They are teflon, so they can be kissing the guide rods, not clamping them.

Has anybody else seen this?  I was able to temporarily fix the problem by taping some heavy washers on top of the cooling fan behind the extruder, but I'm not completely content with this solution.  Others have suggested closing the gap by adjusting the blocks but this seems like a bad idea on its own, as the gap is presumably there to prevent binding.  I'm thinking of designing something spring-loaded to replace the lower Teflon block, but wanted to know if anybody has already done something similar.
