This is my first post here. I assemblied my Vertex this weekend, upgraded the firmware and now Im stuck.
The printer is getting stuck some 20 mm before the end stops on the y axis making a terrible racket.
When I measure the distance between the two rods with a talmeter there is about 1 mm to much space in between at the rear than in the middle and its even quite hard to push it the last 20 mm. Coming to think of it I guess it must be the middle that is too tight since the ends are fixed in the rear panel. I have released the thightness of the end caps of the rods which made it a little bit better.
What should the distance between the too rods be, reasonably precise measured ?
Thanks guys, I saw the tool while checking this forum.
I’ll try to move the holders of the plastic bearing apart by a mm later today.
What if I would make two new holders of the plastic bearing leaving room for another bearing that the rod holding the printer head sits in. If I was to put these new new slightly moveable holders on the far side from the “home position” it would not affect the precision of the printer, would it ? I figure all distances are calculated from the home position.
Problem solved thanks to you guys.
Gave the plastic bearing holder a small tuch with a small adjustment tool (hammer) and now it goes all the way to thr home point without any trouble or extra noise.
I also had that problem as well.
Instead of using 4 sheets of paper I increased it to 5.
I also changed the heat settings from 210 to 190 and the retraction 9mm (I think that’s what they were) to 4in the Cura slicer settings.
This was all trial and error but maybe something for you to look at.

Hi there!
I have same problem,
if i pull Y rod a little towards the center of bed,all problems disappears!
If i release the rod, i get noisy and rattling homing.
What are you actually hammering to?
Can you explain how to bring bars closer?
How i’m supposed to move them if they are force-aligned with chassis due to the 2 5x12 bolt?
Maybe i’m confusing or misurderstanding something in the manual
Yeah i have a frame restrictor similar to that,
i have to modify it a bit.
I assume Slowfoot solved the problem
Practically…what Slowfoot did it’s enlarging carriage between the two rods.
My question is, how effective is this solution? I mean,
considering the two rods are locked in the chassis with two bearings,
and the bearing clamps are screwed in the panels with two nuts, how much room there is for enlarging things?
I want to clarify this issue very well, also k8200 suffer this (sometimes)
They moved maybe 1mm toward the back of the printer.
Reseat belt tensioner without overtightening too much.
Done!
I think it could be useful to repeat this step in the opposite direction, i tried homing at least 10 times,
whirrrrrling noise occurred one time a bit.
I’ll go on investigating on this issue till solved 100%
No Qwert, that is not the part to move. It cannot as you point out.
“The distance should measure abot 33.6 cm. Slide the pieces back and forth until the distance is correct” These are the parts that needed adjustment on my machine and it was not a matter of “sliding back and forth” but a sort sharp knock with a small hammer to adjust them.
Its the same parts the belts are attached to and show in your post with 2 pictures.

Yes monza64, i finally understand where the problem was, belts tensioner (and the entire block where it fits)
Hey guys, I realize this thread may be a bit dated but browsing through to solve a similar issue i was experiencing and thought i would comment just to add help to anyone else looking.
My issue was with returning home for the x axis. As many have said, check the distance between the linear bearings and use a hammer to tap it in slightly for clearance, but after checking mine was an issue with the actual sensor being out of square. I twisted it slightly and now I have no issues.
Thanks for all the great information out there, my printer is running great. While having down time between building i surfed through and found a lot of useful information, put it to use, and so far that had been my only issue.
