Time to tighten up/give your printer a little love.

I built my MK4 from a kit a year ago. 

I bagan getting some wobbly results and concluded it was time to take the allen key in hand again and make a pass over all the little bolts and tighten them up, clean and lube the rods, etc. Printing results improved. 

This just as a heads-up to owners. A little love from time to time can work miracles.

That is what I did in the last few days when I upgraded the Y belt tensioner systems on my MK3S+ and my MK4 with these parts:

These make adjusting the belt tension much more comfortable.
