    Hi Folks - building my 1515. Installing the lead screw - flush on bottom and go to install motor on top and there is too much lead screw sticking out. Did they ship me the wrong length screw or am I missing something...

    Can poke out the bottom a little. Loosen the stop collars, assemble the top side, then retighten collars

    So i went on with the build but had to circle back. I had used flanged bearings because i got sent all motor plates that were flat. No recess plate for the 2 bearings for the z axis. I had a seperate z axis kit with parts in it so i just need to get the plates from OB.
