Hi, I received my 840 today and I'm missing some parts.
I got 3x59, while the manual requires 4. I suppose I'd have to mail stepcraft and ask for it. I'm also going to check every part right now.
The problem I have are the screws M6x10 that fit in part 59. Do I have to shorten them? How? cutting them? Because there is no fit.

That looks a long way off. I had a similar problem with mine, I held the screws in soft jaws in a vice and simply filed them to the correct length. You might want to hacksaw a small amount off them file them. Before you cut the screws run a m6 nut down the thread so any flattened threads will be repaired when you take the nut off.
Did you buy your stepcraft direct or from a dealer? Very frustrating with missing part, hope you get it soon!

Hi, I did the same, filed them for 2 mm and now it fits perfectly.
I bought it from stepcraft-systems, sent them an email.
One thing I found is some of my track rollers in the Z axis won't turn if I apply some force to the screws (like the manual says). That's not suppose to happen I think.
Also, the wires were a pain to insert in the tubes!
I've finished the Z axis I think.
