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?
FIRST people are just wierd like that. We get drawn to places in the middle of the desert as long as we know there will be more people like us there. - sanddrag [more]
