Z axis lead screw - bent / wobble

is this something i should be worrying about, there is a pronounced wobble.
the z screw is bent.
i know these aren’t precision threaded bars, will this affect printing in any way?

many thanks for your time.

Is your printer finished? Have you tried printing anything yet? A little wobble is common, it’s difficult to assertain what one person understands to be “a little” or “a lot” vs another person.

2 to 3mm wobble.

printer is finished.
issues with …
getting z stop accurately tuned in, see other post.
getting heated bed flat.
counter sunk screws on heated bed protruding, will they impact on nozzle at 0.25mm?

cheers,

Use the thumbscrews underneath the bed to raise or lower the 4 corners of the bed appropriately. If the bed is bulging in the middle you can detach it and make the holes for the screws a bit bigger (3,5mm or 4mm).

Put the nozzle at 0.25 mm, then move the bed by hand to see if they impact the nozzle.

I would not worry about the Z-axis wobble, I doubt this will have any adverse effect on your print.

some video of the issue.
