Core one - tention of xy belts
Hello Community,
I still wait for my core one kit and try to use this time in order to get some usefull information for my future assembly.
For this I've sent an Email to prusa, including the order number and asked how the employees measure the tension of the xy belt on their assembly line.
I mentioned that I don't believe that they sitting in front of the workbench with their one handy...
I got a answer, but this was neither clever nor helpfull. The guy told me that has no idea what happened in the mass produktion, but he adviced me to follow a link to the sound module of the prusa App.
I want to build a 3D printer and l don't like playing a czech harp...
Does anyone know how more professional people measure the tension of the belts during the adjustment process, and which values shall be achieve?
Best regards
AKM

You can buy a measuring device that costs more than your printer and measure with it.
Or you can use the app as recommended.
Someone here in the forum compared the results with a professional tool and only came up with very small deviations.

It might be worth mentioning that Gates (the manufacturer of the belts) recommends this measurement technique as well. They have their own app for use with their bicycle drive belts. So the frequency measurement is not as quirky and homebrew as it may seem at first glance. 😉
