nvm i'm dumb... look up the pinout of the btt octopus 1.1 board and you will understand... maybe... i'm still a noob (this is for whoever reads this like me) https://teamgloomy.github.io/images/btt_...
wait can you disambiguate what you're saying here. my interpretation of what you are saying is "do not connect as illustrated in the second picture with the individual black and red lines and do it as illustrated the first picture?" is that correct?
my experience with the 400 hybrid... at least what i received as of late September 2024... is that there are 2 belts coiled, one much lons ger for the regular corexy, and one shorter coiled in the hybrid kit... is that both of them cut in half is OK... so if someone makes a mistake for some reason and only identifies one of the two coils of belts for said kit that if they cut it in half they will have not made a mistake and will simply need to find the other coil and do the same. as i said this has been my experience as of the dates i stated. so.... you should be good and i'm assuming ratrig is fully aware of this but hasn't had time to edit so just adding this for whoever.. YMMV and you are your own warranty so check it manually or with the cad model as i did both.. knowledge sharing is the way.
i think i understand what you're saying. this may or may not be correct but i'm doing it loosening both the longer and shorter screws ... all of them on each end of the x gantry. seems like you have to hold pressure on the x gantry whilst gently tightening all of them carefully... going around from side to side while not overtightening one or another but slowly tightening all as you move from screw to screw. this in addition to using the aligners while loosening slightly the y rails and making sure i test the squareness at each end of the y travel.
it would make sense to first square it up against the stops at the front... and gently tighten the larger hardware... then slightly tighten the locktite screws... slide it back most in travel, tighten all slightly more... then up front again and make sure. i kind of did that with a larger cnc machine i built and it seemed to work. usually takes a few tries.
if anyone thinks i'm being more confusing rather than helpful please reply and i'll modify/delete

i guess my point is... it does seem to want to "take a set" slightly off square that needs to be dealt with in the incremental tightening regime.
