Slack Belt Issue

I did not adjust the z offset unless this is something find anchors does. I have yet to cut anything, so I do not know how good or bad the current setup is. If needed, how would I measure and set the z offset? My lowest anchor is now about 1.5 inches off the frame with each stepping up .5 inch from there.

The Z offset is the distance from the bottom of the belt at the anchor to the
bottom of the belt at the arm (measured relative to the plane of the spoilboard)

the defaults assume the anchors are at the same height as the spoilboard.

get a long straightedge/level, lay it on the spoilboard, extend it out to an
anchor and measure from the bottom of the spoilboard to the top of where the
belt end would sit, then you will subract that from the Z offset in the fluidnc
maslow.yaml settings.
