Pulley cover removed for the time being. Thank you for the report.
that pulley cover was a new addition, but it was printed out of PLA since it was a prototype. PLA has a pretty low softening temp so it can be problematic to use as part of motor mount.
it’s not actually the mount itself, just a cover screwed on the mount, and it’s always been able to rub the drag chain a bit before i made that cover. the new cover kept it from rubbing at all but it’s not a show stopper if it’s removed since it’s always been running without one.
i reprinted it in high temp PPA-CF last night. best filament on the market. that stuff can actually be a high temp motor mount itself if you wanted to.
