Dustin will post the drawings as a white paper.
Runout in the RS550 shafts sounds like it is the main culprit, and would explain the vibration issues we see when the shaft alone provides piloting.

Hopefully today. Heh. On account of there's this Lone Star Regional tomorrow and the 3D printer is at work and all...
I could draw it myself, but I don't have the parts available to check fits. Speaking of, what did you guys print this on? A commercial printer, or a Reprap derivative?
