Step 1 How to Install Belt Clips

To install a belt into a belt clip, put the belt through the clip, and leave a bit of a tail - about an inch or so, to allow some adjustment later.

Step 2 X Belt Installation

Start with the front or "X" belt. Insert the clip with the belt on it into the lower left hole at the front of the Y carriage. Make sure the bolt hole lines up properly.

Attach the clip using (1) m3 x 45mm cap head bolt and (1) m3 washer.

Attach the clip using (1) m3 x 45mm cap head bolt and (1) m3 washer.
The Belt teeth should be facing the rear of the printer.

Step 3 X Belt Installation Continued

The belt (shown in red) should go from the Y carriage and then around the lower smooth idler on the front X carriage.

From the idler the belt should turn to the right and loop around the front stepper pulley.

From the idler the belt should turn to the right and loop around the front stepper pulley.
The teeth should engage the pulley.
From the stepper the belt goes across the front of the printer and around the toothed idler on the outside, shorter shoulder bolt.

Step 4 Finishing X Belt Installation

The belt should cross to the back of the printer, and the teeth should engage the toothed idler on the shorter, inside shoulder bolt.

From there the belt should follow along the back of the printer, with the toothed side wrapping around the lower toothed idler on the X carriage.

Put another belt clip on, and insert the bolt into the lower rear hole on the Y carriage. Attach it with (1) m3 x 45mm bolt.
