Belt Tension Options
Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 4:23 pm
I'm continuing to try to track down a problem where thing Ord Bot won't print circles. I'm looking for information on belt tensioning as a potential issue with this. My current best tensioning method is to loosen the pulley real good and then push it's mount out as far as I can and tighten it down. Then tighten the pulley again until it is in an appropriately right-angled position to the plate.
I've heard the belts should be like guitar strings. They do bounce back to position and resist being pulled away, but they don't twang. What does that really mean?
Do you have a better belt tensioning method?
