| + | [title] Tension the CoreXY belts |
|---|---|
| + | [* 10] The M5x40mm on the EVA3 back screws are used to tighten the CoreXY belts |
| + | [* 1] Tighten each M5x40 screw ***slightly*** to engage with the M5 nylon locking nut in the tensioner |
| + | [* 1] Tighten each M5x40 screw one-half turn at a time to tension the belts equally |
| + | [* 1] Continue tightening the screws until the belts are no longer slack |
| + | [* 1] Check that the X-axis gantry is square by moving it to the front of the machine. If it has skewed, it can be squared by adjusting the tension of one belt at a time |
| + | [* 9] Make sure not to over-tension the belts as this can cause damage to the bearings, the belt, the motors or printed parts! |
