X Axis Belt (Scrapping) fray on edge

My X Axis (horizontal) belt is scrapping and fraying on the edge, I can send photos. How do I fix this?

Drag a photo into the text window, make sure you change Link to : Media File before clicking insert.

That tuft looks more like manufacturing residual.  The belts will ride to one side of the pulleys, but they usually don't wear nor cause problems.  You can adjust the drive gear position on the motor shaft - you might be able to bias the belt - but you'll just be swapping sides that rub.

If you feel the issue is severe, you can contact Prusa Support via chat and explain it to them.   Or if industrious, remove the offending drive gears and deburr the two inner walls using scotchbrite or fine sand paper. You could even bevel them a bit.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply.   I'll contact Prusa Support since I don't want to take it apart and possibly further the misalignment.
