Ive a workaround in place - on the opposite side of the laser carriage I had noticed a lot of wear in the metal frame from where the laser assemblies white plastic wheel travels....especially noticeable where the transition occurs between the guides and from the white to the black track segment.
Took a punt and cut a small piece of material to use as a wear/grip strip..only an inch long by 1/4 wide..and installed where the wear is evident near where the laser assembly transitions...this worked first time and has worked since so far... how it works...it could be raising one side of the assembly or/and just gives a little more grip at the right position.
Will monitor how this goes...so far it works perfectly.
That's funny. I just posted about something similar I did & yours was the next post I read. In my case I replaced the entire rack, but I also had to build a little ramp like you just described. What material did you use? I used 1/16" double stick foam tape.
