Daily Maintenance of X/Y Axis Belts

A. Cleaning the X/Y Axis Belts

1. Before printing, use a tissue to wipe dust off the X-axis.

B. Checking Belt Tightness

1. Every week, manually move the printing platform and nozzle assembly.
2. Check for loose belts during movement.
3. If you find any issues, adjust the tightness of the X/Y axis belts as needed.
