Hello, all. I’m assembling my new S3XXL right now, and I want to make sure I don’t have a problem.

I’ve mounted the carriages on the rails, and have attached the rails to the base. The X/Z carriage rolls smoothly and easily over the rail. The Y carriages fit VERY snugly on the rails - the rubber wheels barely roll, and do not roll smoothly. I’ve confirmed that the wheels are sitting on the v’s correctly. Is this an issue, or will it smooth out over time? Thanks very much.

Perfect, thank you!

For any staff reading, adding a “blue box” tip about eccentric nut adjustment to the carriage installation guide would be useful.
