I’ve been making changes and calibrating over the last couple days and my fitness core keeps going down.
A few issues that are probably bugs.
After a successful collaboration, the fluid NC tab displays some kind of error, I think it’s 406 or something, but it basically says he can’t find the file.
Also, after a successful calibration, whenever I retract the belts only one retracts, and then the button gets grayed out, and then I can keep clicking it and random numbers start retracting sometimes one sometimes two.
I finally ate my first belt on one of the many extension and retraction cycles. I think while extending, the motor kept extending. Although I was not pulling on it and the excess got chewed up. Are there any settings to adjust the pull force needed for the extension?
I suppose this is not salvageable? And I need to get another belt?
Also, I noticed there were 3D printed belt guards in the not shop but I wondered if they were of the same design as the 4.1 kit - or if anyone has more experience with how to keep the machine from eating itself?
There has been other chat that the belt spools when assembled are having high friction forces. During assembly they may spin freely but get more difficult when bolts tighten down.
Some others have started sanding smoothing the belt spools to rotate more freely.
Not sure if related but one idea I had from your photos .
At the limit of short belts, I would avoid having less than a half turn on the spool at full extension; you are asking a lot of that little slot and plastic bit to anchor stuff.
Mine are kinda over-stuffed at full retraction, with the belt solidly pressed against the idler gear shaft.
