(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

Today on this 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe we are going to install part number P303158 from Putco. This is their Putco liquid billet grille. In this particular unit we are going to install their spiderweb version. What this product does is it actually mounts on the top of the existing grille you have so you do not have to remove any parts at all. It is pretty easy to install you just have to loosen the grille up to get some working room but that is about it. The first thing we need to do is open the hood. The grille that is going to fit on top of this grille, the mounting point is right about this area so to get to that we are going to have to reach in from the top and over. It is really kind of hard to do with the space we have so that is why we are going to loosen up the grille. To do that we have got a series of bolts on the top to undo. It is really easy stuff. Basically we just need about one inch of room and we are good to go. 00:52
Give it a quick test fit. Install the bolt then slip behind the grille and install this little plate. The nuts on the plate back here are nylon lock nuts so you have got a little bit of a drag when you install the bolt. It will get drawn up just enough to hold everything in place we will go over to the other side and repeat the same process. On the lower grille there is just one on each side and there are two on the top that makes our four. So once we have it set the way we want it, maybe a little bit left and right to center it. Once you have it the way you want it snug these bolts down. You do not have to crush them, just enough to draw the two grilles together. It is looking good already. Lets do the top half now. Put the whole grille assembly back into position and put those bolts back in. We have got our bolts snugged down finger tight. Now lets give them a quick turn with a wrench and we will be good to go. Within ten minutes time we have already changed the look of this truck. With that, that finishes our install of part number P303158 from Putco.
