If done in the order of this guide, the Touch Probe Window does not appear! To get the window to show up in WBC you need to disable then re-enable the Touch Probe!
At “STEP 2” I would suggest that 60mm screws should be fitted with the nuts on the outside rather than the inside - I found that the top forward most nuts were catching my dust shoe so I turned them round to eliminate the problem.
Step 3 - The suggested 10mm protrusion of the Acme screw is not enough! By the time you’ve got the thickness of the bearing flange + spacer + the collar there is not enough left to get a proper fixing into the flexible coupler - it needs about 10mm after the collar to go into the flexible coupler. Allowing for this additional protrusion then means that when attempting to fit the motor, the shaft goes all the way though the flexible part of the coupler instead of slightly less than half way and collides with the Acme screw before the motor fixing screws are all the way in (negating the “flexible” concept completely)!
The only answer I could find was to increase the motor fixing distance using additional spacers (5mm washers).
Should the aluminium spacers be a bit longer or the motor shaft a bit shorter I wonder?
