I am trying to wrap up assembly of my Maslow 4.1 and as I am installing the linear rod support I have noticed that the support does not touch the sled. I have seen that this may be due to the rod being too long, but could it be that I did not hammer in the rod enough during that part if the assembly process. What is the best solution? I could 3D print a shim to put under the support if that will work.
People have had success putting a shim under the support.
I too had this issue and contemplated shims, but on measuring the liner rods they were exactly the right length - so I realised it was an assembly issue.
I had to loosen the screws on the linear rod mounts (where they mount to the sled) and give the rod a gentle tap with a hammer to seat it firmly, before screwing everything down.
That solved the issue for me.

I was able to hammer them in a bit and that did the trick. Thanks for the advice. I guess I was not aggressive enough with the hammer when initially installing the rods

It’s tricky to know exactly how hard to hit it with the hammer
I am glad that it worked out
