Buddy! Do you have a screw loose?

Post by Flateric »

Just a friendly reminder to go back and give all your nuts, screws and bolts a friendly snug up as the wood will compress and thing will settle if it has been awhile since you built your printer.

Just went through and checked all mine and most were fine but one or two was definitely not as tight as I left it originally.

That being said, don't over tighten things either, use good judgement.

When I see things like this, I am reminded of the phrase: "Common sense is not so common."

That's why regardless of the topic, I no longer refer to it as common sense, but horse sense instead. It's amazing how often it works as a literal interpretation.

I know plenty of people that have significantly less sense than a horse.

Perhaps amoeba sense?
