S420 Base Fit Problem
Anyone else had problems with the base of their machine not fitting properly?
I have to pull the sides of my machjne together with a clamp when fitting the end plate with the reset switch on as the sides splay out due to a poor fitting bottom. This make y-axis alignment a real pain. When I undo the screws on the end plate the sides spring out.
I would be interested to hear peoples experiences.

I have the same problem as you. The base frame seems OK without load, but when I put the gantry on it, the front side (where the panel with the reset switch is fitted) becomes wider.
I too need to clamp the front end, otherwise it's impossible to align the y-axis. This situation also makes the machine leveling a pain. When the screws on the front panel are loosen, the base frame deforms so much that the y lead srews are block for any movement.
So far I don't have any other solution besides clamping. I would very much like to hear how other people dealing with this problem.
