Tensioning GT2-belts
Check the tension of the belts that drive the printhead:
The two thumbscrews can be turned clockwise to increase the tension of the belts.
Each screw is connected to a different GT2 belt, i.e., they are not coupled. The tension should
be the same for both GT2 belts.
They should be tensioned to a level that they grip onto the motor pulley and do not slip off
while moving.
Be careful not to overtighten the GT2 belts; the screws holding the idler pulleys will bend or
break under high tension. This can result in poor print quality/wear of the belts, or a machine
stop.
