gantry X-axis
I just replaced the bearings on my 500 3.0 with the 3.1 upgrade kit parts. When I am moving the gantry to the front, the right side hits the front frame. But the left side still has about 2mm of travel before it reaches the front.
Adjusting belt tension doesn't seem to be enough to make a difference.
What do I need to do to correct this?
Might have found it. Re-fastened the belts on the front and pulled the upper belt taught enough to straighten it out. Now I need to do the regular belt tension and see if this solved it.
Almost. I think the main culprit was the gantry linear bearings. They had crud built up in the bearings. Cleaned those out and re-lubed all the bearings in the machine. I'm now back to smooth motion. Just need to start getting a drop of oil in the bearings probably once a month.
