[title] X smooth rods tension
-[* 5] Block the X motor shaft with pliers (grab the flat side of the shaft). Tension the belt while moving the extruder left and right until it is resisting. The belt should stay straight and not deform.
+[* 5] Grip the X motor shaft with pliers to prevent it moving (grab the flat side of the shaft). Tension the belt, by tightening the screws in the ''x_end_idler''. Do this while trying to move the extruder to the left or right. The belt should stay straight and should not bow up and skip over the drive pulley teeth.
[* 6] Thread two M3x10 screws in the ''x_end_idler''. Don't tighten them fully yet, it will be done on the next step.
