Checking your Belt Tension

There is a panel underneath your bed that holds the belt together. If that panel is loose, it can cause print shifting, and you’ll need to tighten it.

To start, you can poke at that panel with a screwdriver to feel if it seems loose. It shouldn't move at all. If it does, you'll need to remove the 4 thumb screws holding the bed down so you can get underneath and tighten it.

See below for a photo of the bed and a video of what it looks like when loose & how to tighten it.



See the middle panel & the thumbscrews you’ll need to remove to access it.

If the bed belt is already tight, but your prints are shifting, the next step is to check the check the y-motor tightness next. This guide will walk you through those steps if needed.
