REALIGNING THE GANTRY
5. Manually move the extruders to the front of the MakerBot Replicator 2X, as far forward
as they will go. Make sure that the plastic pieces on both sides of the gantry are flush
against the plastic brackets that hold the two front pulleys.
6. Use the 1.5 mm hex wrench to tighten the set screw in each of the two back pulleys.
Make sure these set screws are very tight.
NOTE: If you cannot see one of the set screws, hold both sides of the gantry and
gently push it away from the front of the MakerBot Replicator 2X. Make sure to exert
an equal amount of pressure on both sides of the gantry. Push only until you can see
the hidden set screw.
