I'm having trouble with ringing on my Wanhao Duplicator 4 printer. Both of my Y axis rods are bent slightly, and even though I added pillows to the machine they're still not perfect. I was thinking to try replacing them with either a stronger metal, or at least some metal that's not bent. The rods are 5mm in diameter and run the length of the machine, 18.25"
Can anybody recommend a good source and/or stronger metal for these rods? It doesn't have to be local, I'll order online too. Many thanks in advance!
