hi,
after a few prints i get " belt tension low" error.
i already loosened the screws and re tightened it several times,
but it keeps coming back.
what else can i check?
Did you also move the head through its full range of motion several times while the screws were loose? That motion is necessary to overcome stiction in the pulley mounts and let the springs apply the correct tension.
i cleaned it and pushed it around. i’ll try full range next time it shows up
Well guys, it looks like I am revamping this old thread because I have a similar issue. I have noticed that my Z-axis squeaks every time it moves up and down… I have lubed the lead screws and the smooth screw things (on the X1C). I looked under the machine where the belt and gears are for the Z-axis on the X1C… the belt was super duper lose. Could this be the source of my squeaking? Do I need to tighten my Z-Belt underneath the printer? My printer has not brought up any errors with this.
My started squeaking are 3k hours and I followed the procedure in post 10 of the thread below. It has not happened agin in 1500 hrs.
