X-Axis belt twisting during printing

Hi everyone

 

After moving to a new place I've set up my trusted Mini  and realized some noise I don't think I've experienced before. 

When looking for the source of the noise, I found the belt on the X-axis twisting back and forth. I haven't had the time to take it apart, but I wanted to hear from other users' experiences. Does your belt stay more level during operation?

 

BR, Jonas

This may be a failing or misaligned idler bearing.

Cheerio,

Thanks for you suggestion, that sounds reasonable. I've ordered some spare parts and will take it apart once they arrived. 

It does not seem to influence print quality all too much, but the noise definitely indicates that something is going to break down at some point 🙂
