thank you for the advice. i have an eccentric nut as well, so I'm excited to learn that it might help to finger my gantry a little bit. and I'll definitely make sure my next purchase is a double ender.
Yeah, but don't forget to level your bed before fingering the gantry, otherwise things might fall of the bed during the procedure.
The older you get, it becomes ever more important to check your nuts.
The Y axis was loose on my printer, loose enough that it kept moving (slightly) to the right while printing. Taking out the 4 screws, re-aligning the axis and tightening the screws fixed this. As well as checking your nuts, check your screws too!
