Stripped inner thread on 2020 x axis profile for an Ender 3v2
  • In the V2, the other side is occupied by a screw holding the tensioner in, but I was told I could use a T-nut and that would save me a lot of headache

  • Okay, I have no clue what I'm doing but I did look up a little bit on tapping and think I might be able to try that. Of all the threads to strip I think I may have gotten lucky. The screw doesn't seem to do much other than keep the metal plate from sliding up and down (though I may be wrong) so I'm not too worried about strength I think.

    What do you mean about the rod? Is this to buy a rod, cut it to size, use a die to thread it, and screw that in?

    Is this a "good enough" tap? Looks like I'd need to get a wrench for it too?

  • So I was attempting to install kevinakasam's belt mod and I'm fairly sure I stripped the thread that holds the M4 screw in the outer right side of the X axis profile (the side without the extruder attached to the tensioner). How screwed am I? Could I get away with trying Loctite red?

    Pics for reference!

    Edit: Thanks a ton everyone, I'll keep you all up to date when I try to finish the project this weekend!

  • Not without the 12V. I'm pretty sure most of the internal electronics are dependent on that working. There's an access port so you can "jump" the 12V with another car, which I think would then allow you to open the door though.
