Flat Spot on wheel

One of my carriages developed a flat spot on one of its wheels. SeeMeCNC wants $32 for a new set. Is there any way to get the flat spot out of the wheel aside from replacing them?

Re: Jtech Photonics Laser Kit

Reflashing the smoothieboard with latest edge fixed the problem. I have some 3" open cell foam coming in the mail, will update then. If any of you guys want examples of stuff being cut let me know / mail me something.

When switching the beta and gamma steppers and end stop the problem started happening on the beta tower. It looks like it could be an issue with the stepper driver on the board. I've got a few spares I could swap out the SMD with a different one. This setup came from a rostock max, i wonder why my m...
