Description:
This solution will cover how to tighten the belts on your HD series Airwolf 3D printer.
Process:
1) Check the Belt Tension
-
The belts should only be tightened when needed. To test this, flick the belt and listen for a low deep tone similar to a cello. If it does, you do not need to tighten the belt.
(This belt is too loose)
--
2) Loosen a Pulley
- Use a 1.5mm allen wrench to loose ONE pulley. There are two sets of screws on each pulley.
--
3) Tighten the Belt
- Tighten the belt with the belt adjuster screw. Be very careful not to over tighten!
--
4) Equalize the Belt Tension
- Move the hot end left and right to equalize the tension to the top and bottom of the belt.
--
5) Check the Belt Tension
- Repeat step one by flicking the belt and listening for the deep toned cello sound.
(Looks good!)
--
6) For the belts on the left and right side (Y), make sure both sides of the rod are aligned by matching them to the acrylic line.
--
6) Tighten the Pulley
- Use a 2mm allen wrench to tighten the two sets of screws previously loosened.

You're done! Check/repeat process on other three belts.
