So I just recently put together my new, personal, 3.1 printer. When I began calibrating my amazing new printer, I was slightly upset to find out that the very top of the lead screw is bent. The top is the only area that "wobbles" or "Nutates" around the first 2-3 inches of my lead screw. Is it safe to attempt a bend back into place?
I work with 3 of these printers at my workplace, and I'm very familiar with their calibration and assembly. I use my own personal set of calipers and I have even re-checked the straightness of the rail to the spine 3X for the alignment of the z-axis rail, and it is definitely straight and at the recommended *12mm* from the edge like the instructions state.
If I am recommended not to attempt bending it, do you think the felix peoples will replace it? :p
It's the only thing I can find wrong with my parts. Thanks in advance for those who help!

Hi
Personally I would ask for a replacement. I'm fairly positive Felix's people will provide you with a new one.
Good luck!
