I went in to do some maintenance on my Prusa MK3S+, and discovered an error that was there since I assembled it. I can't believe I never noticed before now.

My X-Axis belt had stretched and needed tightening, and that's what I set out to fix. But I discovered that I hadn't fully inserted the X-Axis tensioner nut, and the tensioner screw (the one with the purple arrow) was held in only by luck and maybe by biting into the plastic. It certainly wasn't the way it was supposed to be, and I have no idea how my tension had ever been in spec!

In the latest MK3S+ revision, Prusa revised that part, possibly to make my stupid mistake less likely.

In any case, I'm glad I have things correct now. I'm back up and printing, and so far so good.

P.S. Also highly recommended to see if you have belt issues: the Prusa tension meter: https://www.printables.com/model/46639-tension-meter-for-the-gt2-belts-of-i3-mk3s-or-prus

I made one of my #design #3dprint #gamer dream come true with this #Zelda:Wind Waker stained glass, thanks to #MMU2S and #PrusaMk3s combo, and a lot layer color changes (@TheZuza more than one color change per layer would be great #prusaslicer) #Prusalive @josefprusa @MattStultz
