[title] Y axis parts position refinment - MK3(S)
-[* 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 misaligned those parts.
+[* 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.
