Belt tension

The belt should be slightly stretched.

Move the extruder to the left or right side and using two fingers, pinch the belt loop together in the middle of the axis. You should be able to push both sides together so that they would touch, but not without any resistance.

If you have an MK3 or MK3S you can go to the LCD menu -> Support -> Belt Status. The values should not be under 240 and above 300, but there is no unique ideal value. The lower the number, the more tight the belt is.

If your value is under (or close to) 240, you need to loosen the belt
If your value over (or close to) 300, you need to tighten the belt
