      Hi,

      For those with multiple z axis steppers that are using them for bed leveling how are you connecting the lead screw to the bed?

      I assume I need to allow for some amount of movement in the connection.

      Thanks.

      Frederick

        Here is a good article about kinematic bed mounts.

          Take a look at the railcore 2 design. They have some flex built into the bed lead screw mount points. Without some play you get binding as you surmised.
