+[title] Y axis positionning
[* 7] Apply a light tension on the belt to have a light stretching (not floppy). Do not over-tighten the belt or the adjustments will be impossible.
[* 10] We will adjust precisely the belt tension in a later step.
[* 5] Adjust the position of ''y_idler_mount'' and ''y_motor_mount'' using their M5 screws. Try to have the belt ridding as centered as possible on the pulley (motor side) and the idler (tensioner side).
[* 2] It is important to move the Y carriage back and forth along the whole axis between each adjustments.
[* 9] Remember that when you tighten the ''y_idler_mount'' and ''y_motor_mount'' screws you must do it ***incrementally***. If you don't do it you might have the those parts misaligned.
