Y axis linear bearings are very tight

Post by jembb5 » Wed Apr 12, 2017 5:48 am

I am assembly the i3 x and I am in the very beginging of the assembly. When i went to put the linear bearings for the y axis onto the smooth rod they were very tight. Once the build plate was screwed onto the bearings it becamse very difficult to move the plate due to the massive amount of friction. It is pretty difficult to move by hand. Is this a major problem or can i keep going with the assembly? If not what are some things I can do to make this problem go away
