Step Lines

-[title] X smooth rods tension
+[title] Belt pre-tension
[* 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.
+[* 10] We will improve the belt tension in a later step.
[* 6] Thread two M3x10 screws in the ''x_end_idler''. Don't tighten them fully yet, it will be done on the next step.
