How do you know when it's time to retension the belts?

I am new to 3D printing, and have an assembled Core One.  I am doing fine on my first 6 prints.   There are no issues so far.

While reading these forums, I see some posts about adjusting belt tension and tuning.  How do you know when this is needed?
Is this something that you do as periodic maintenance, or only when a problem shows up?

Thanks,

Neal

It should be fine to just check the belt tension from time to time. Doesn't need to be done frequently. Over time, the belts will stretch and they will need to be tightened. It's worth checking them now just to familiarize yourself with the procedure.
