[* 7] Apply a light tension to the belt to remove any slack. Do not over-tighten the belt or adjustments will be impossible.
[* 10] We will adjust the belt, to the correct 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 centred as best 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 adjustment.
[* 9] Remember that when you tighten the ''y_idler_mount'' and ''y_motor_mount'' screws you must do so ***evenly, incrementally and in turn***. If you don't do this you may cause those parts to be misaligned.
