[GreenKeys] Ongoing Model 15 Issues

[E.]

Ooh, this is an interesting topic!  Having not taken off the baskets off of my 19’s in maybe half a year, I just went down to have a look.  Photos attached.  The areas in the red circles are the only parts on the basket that make contact with the printing unit.  Also attached is a photo of one those two, fun screws that might be an issue.  You might be able to get around loosening them up with some needle nose pliers, but maybe also expect some chewed up metal in the process.

As I remember, I’ve had the basket dance around when the *insert name here* between the blades isn’t seated place, in-between the blades like it should be… but if it is printing - which I’m not 100% sure if it s correctly or not, this may not be the case.  That being said — after glancing over your first email Steve, the *part name here* being out of place could be your issue - but as almost the case, I could (probably) be wrong ;p .

Anywho, hope this helps and good luck ^^ !
