Topic: A couple of SD3 observations

I  had my SD3 a week now. Some good prints some  bad.First I noticed tonight that the mat under the bed was drooping, (I assume it is glued on) , I can push it up back in place. It might stay put for a little while but still shouldn't do that. Second
when the extruder is in the upper left quadrant the braided wire bundle rubs and sometimes even pushes on the Y belt.
Anybody with a SD3 have that issue?

SD3, E3D hotend,linear bearing on x/y axis',pillow block bearing on y conneting rod, ball bearngs on front y axis, fan on y stepper motor.

Re: A couple of SD3 observations

There are fixes for the wire bundle rubbing on the SD2's that I'm sure would work on the SD3.  Check in hacks and mods I've got a magnetic one and there's some clip on ones that mine was based off of.

Re: A couple of SD3 observations

satman, does your wire come out of the top middle hole like this one?  The SD2's wire bundle came out of the top left.  I thougt that this new placement would of stopped that from happening.
