It’s been a nightmare trying to calibrate my Maslow 4.1. Over 5 times Stuck in restarting fitness loop, about 3 times the sled running into the anchor points, 3 times the belts getting chewed up due to being loose on the spool. I’ve been trying for over 8 hours changing settings, reupdating firmware, browsing forums, and not understanding what to do. Now two of my belts won’t retract after I stopped calibration because one of them jammed. I’ve had issues retracting 2 or 3 times before before but it always worked after I restarted or clicked the retract all button a bunch of times Any help would be greatly appreciated I’m tearin my hair out cause it feels like I’m getting nowhere ---

The place that I would start is to increase that retraction force setting from 800 to 1200 ---
