Is it possible for some the delrin wheels to have flat spots or be out of round? My x axis wheels will roll a little then start sliding. Tried adjusting and they do the same thing even with delrin nut loose

@Devildog Anything is possible, John. :grinning:

You may want to try adjusting them one more time. Lift up on the router mount when adjusting them. I found that the weight of the gantry and the router would make them seem to be properly adjusted when, in fact, they were too loose.

Thanks gwilki. I have tried lifting the router up and that didn’t seem to change anything. If I loosen the wheels then I have a lot of play in th router mount.

How do I go about ordering more wheels?

Did you try to roll the wheel with your fingers to see if it roll freely?
if not ! maybe the wheel bearing have something and by so! sliding because the wheel is jammed instead of rolling!
