X-Axis Motor Belt Alignment
I just finished building my MK2S kit and noticed the belt was twisted a bit coming from the X-Axis motor. I saw that the problem was the pulley wasn't aligned with the x-carriage, but I can't move the pulley into a position that it will be. I'm not sure what adjustment I could make except for putting spacers on the motor. After searching I found some people had a similar issue with the idler, but I haven't seen anyone else with this issue. Can anyone offer some advise on how to fix this?
Re: X-Axis Motor Belt Alignment
Put the pulley onto the shaft the other way. I.E. The grub screw side must be on the outside of the belt.

That was it! I went back and checked the assembly instructions and don't know how I missed it....twice. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas. 😀

Might be time to get some spare GT2 belt for the future
