Maintenance Log
2024
- Sep 3rd (Chris W)
Did a bed leveling and getting MUCH better first-layer adhesion now.
- Sep 1st (Chris W)
Had a print come loose from the bed several layers in, made a big mess and got some crap wrapped around the X axis driver. Once I got it cleaned out, it was clear it had screwed up the belt tension. I was able to retension the belt and it seems file now, though; a printed square peg still fits into a square hole both ways with the same tolerance as before. But if there are future X-calibration issues, might be the belt is damaged and needs replacing. I left the allen wrench I found for the tension adjustment in the tool drawer.
