I realised as I was installing the x-axis toothed belt, I had mounted the x-axis c-beam back to front. This doesn’t appear to affect the functionality of the machine but did mean that the adjustment holes for the belt clamps didn’t line up with the appropriate holes. Tried to dismantle the x-axis but the bolts securing the c-beam wouldn’t easily undo (the hex hole started to deform).
My solution was to drill holes in the correct place, tap them to suit the M5 bolts and then finalise the installation of the belt. I did add an M5 nyloc nut on the outside just to make sure.
