I accidently set the balls free on my X axis ball nut in my Deluxe Kit (x3) during install. :nono: But then I realized I needed them back, but they did not want to come back. I think they wanted to be free. Mom always told me if you love something set it free, and if comes back it loves you too. I think these little ******** hate me!
After much hard work I was able to capture 68 of them. I think that was all of them. They refuse to tell me if there was anymore that escaped, even when I water-boarded them. :drowning: So I think I am good!
So I tried to put them back in their ball nut prison, but in the process I damaged their grey deflectors and the seals on either end. Complete FAIL on my part! :violin:
So now I have these 68 balls that I can't get into their prison and I have to watch them 24 hours a day until the new prison shows up (which I ordered from you guys 2 days ago). I am obviously getting tired, one of them even tried to escape. But no luck, I caught the little bastard!
I ordered a new ball nut from CNC FUSION, but I have recieved no response from them to see if they got my order and a shipment date. I hope it is pre-loaded since I am obviously incompetent and I hope it comes soon (early next week). I think the balls are planning an escape again tonight! :wee:
2. Is there any way to get the deflectors and 2 seals so I can attempt to fix the ball nut I have already? Mom always said, son use what ya got even though it may not be much. So I want to try again to rebuild the prison. I think it terrifies the little ******** when I am working on their prison in front of them. Any body know who makes the ball nuts for CNC FUSION Deluxe kit? Can I get parts for a ball nut?
I think one of the balls is staring at me.............
Thanks!
