Factory Cheap Hot ASTM A193 B7 Combination Studs Step Down Studs to Kenya Manufacturers

(Sorry about the high pitched noise at the beginning of the video. I’m using a cheap loaner smart phone while waiting for my new phone to come in and for some reason it makes that noise when I start recording video.)

I am trying to get HIC Technology to replace this defective part and they are telling me that I assembled it incorrectly. I took this video and pictures as proof that I did not assemble it incorrectly and the part itself is defective. This 3D printer was purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N7I1ZVU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The part itself is not square which prevents the X-axis assembly from moving up and down on the Z-axis motors and threaded rods. The ONLY way that I could get it to move smoothly up and down was to loosen the screws holding the threaded brass bushing so that it could sit square with the rest of the assembly as shown here: https://s83.photobucket.com/user/jefrom19/media/3D%20Printer/2015-02-16%2018.45.06_zpspidjult4.jpg.html.
After loosening the screws holding the brass bushing in place, I could then move the X-axis assembly all of the way down on the Z-axis, as shown in this picture: https://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j314/jefrom19/3D%20Printer/2015-02-17%2015.18.00_zpsj9zwzhzo.jpg

***UPDATE 5/3/15***
I have made several upgrades to my printer since this video was taken. To see what changes I made, look through this forum thread: https://www.502streetscene.net/forum/showthread.php?p=4053746#post4053746

Buyer of my 100 year old house required floor drain to be unplugged. Drain cleaning company UNSUCCESSFULLY power snaked it, and I was faced with a $2,000.00 replacement.

I called Big Dave’s Plumbing in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Dave was en route to hunt deer and had recently been rear ended by a car doing 55 mph., so he could not unplug my drain, but looked at texted pictures and told me how to do it. He said the cleanout plug had probably fallen into the drain and debris had concretized around it. Bend 12″ x 3/8″ or 1/2″ threaded rod, to the curvature of the U at the bottom of the trap, and hammer it down the cleanout and drain sides, continually flushing with water and vacuuming out debris, until you see the rod tip come out the other side of the U. Eventually I uncovered the old brass cleanout. After carefully chiseling around it (you don’t want to puncture the cast iron trap) I was able to remove it, push the rod thru the trap from both sides, flush and vaccum, and make a second video showing that it works! I have made 300 videos demonstrating manufacturing equipment, and never made testimonial. Thank you Big Dave!
