Belt Tension - I’m having to run the belt test after every print

My printer is working well I’m not having any unwanted artifacts in the prints I’m making but after every print I have to run the belt test. Otherwise my printer “crashes” on the mesh bed leveling of the print. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should look for or adjust to fix this? Should I just keep running the belt test since it keeps working well after this extra step?

Check your X & Y axes idler pulleys are not clogged, out of line, or damaged (loosen the belt and try turning it with your fingertip, is it smooth?)

With the belt loose try turning the stepper motor by hand; is it smooth?

Cheerio,
