xTool D1 Pro Laser engraver belt tension: HOW TO SET IT!

Did you read the xTool instructions trying to find what the recommended belt tension should be? Me too!! Ughhhh. Here's my tip that has our machine working good.

When my laser goes to the left, it tends to make a grinding noise and I cannot figure out what to do!! Any idea

Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot. I have a D1 that I purchased for two years but couldn’t get it to work. Your video help me get my machine up and running.

Great, glad it helped!

Thanks for the help! Though I felt a lot better putting at 15mm. Setting it at 17mm gave it too much slack for my comfort.

[@bluegrassboy]

17mm works for me, though I think there's a decent rage there where it will work fine, as long as both sides are equal. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for a very informative video, I was at a loss for "Y axis" tension. I will definitely be using this tip.

[@bluegrassboy]

You are welcome!

Hi, I have an Xtool d1. I’m trying to laser cut and I keep getting duplicate overlay of what I’m laser cutting. Is there any way to correct it? The belt tension seems even.

[@algreen1231]

Nice, so 17mm span. About laser head axis (how name it? X-axis?) can you suggest a tension value? Regards

[@upstatedoc3287]

can't figure out why the machine won't move sideways. It only goes forwards and backwards and no one has any ideas. It's frustrating

[@rydesneffect]

make sure the connector for that axis is plugged in

[@GlueTubber]

also make sure that 'use rotary' or 'enable rotary' is unchecked...
