I’ve been having issues with prints for a week and I think I need to tighten the belts. (Mainly the Y-axis belt) I haven’t been able to find a good descriptive walk through on how to do this. Does anyone have a link to good instructions or could anyone explain how to do this one here with details. Thank you.

I remove the y axis from the printer and flip it over. I loosen one of the belt clamps and twist the belt with a pair of needle nose pliers resting against the belt clamp. While holding the belt at the desired tightness I re-tighten the belt clamp.
