Does anyone believe that the belt featured in this video is too loose?

Does anyone believe that the belt featured in this video is too loose? The adjustments are as tight as possible so I believe it has stretched out. Ordered a new one but misumi didn’t have the 4mm wide version so I ordered the 6mm which looks like it should work

Edit: it seems like the video isn’t working so I have uploaded it to YouTube

Yes, like CRAZY.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Over 2000 hours on these belts… Haven’t seen a near perfect circle in the last few months :thinking:

What does the ringing mean? It was printing at a very high speed. It’s made noises like that since it has been bought

Don’t really have that… Everything is lining up just circles aren’t circles and some things end up oddly shaped

The only issue I’m having is the infill not reaching the perimeter in a few places which is probably due to the stretched belt also

@Abc_Def yep, infill not reaching the edges is a sure sign of backlash, caused by belts that are too loose.

Kinda surprised it has stretched this much… The belt is really loose

It’s likely the belt didn’t stretch, but something got bent. That motor holder doesn’t look like it’s incredibly rigid – belts don’t tend to stretch to that looseness.

I’ll take a closer look when I take it apart to replace the belt. I know the belt has at least a part of the blame
