 It will make the machine run perfect. Please follow the steps to adjust the eccentric nut.


The positions to be adjusted are the x-axis and y-axis, located behind the z-axis backplate (screws need to be unscrewed) and the backplates at the ends of the x-gantry, respectively.

4.2 y-axis position of the eccentric nut to be adjusted


Left position of the eccentric nut, please remember to move the cable of laser engraver for easy adjustment.



The eccentric nut is responsible for adjusting the degree of looseness or tightness between the rollers and the rail.


4.3 Adjustment


The direction of the rollers on the left and right sides need to be in different directions in order to achieve the effect of loosening or tightening at the same time. As shown in the picture
