I think its definately the belts.

warping happens even when printing a simple washer.

Do your belts have these little Springs on them ?
(They are on our printer and keep them tight)
If not, you can get them at eBay.

Could the problem be a loose pulley or shaft, that belt rides on ?
Check to see if the stepper-motors are loose at mountings in case,
(I've read about a loose Y-motor causing problems)

But how do I do that? Cant find any videos on youtube of anyone showing it.

And it did come with one tentioner on each y belt. tried to adjust and now cant get spring back on.
Any tip of putting them on without getting stabbed?

??? What are you asking about ?
If the Y-stepper-motor, then it mounts to case with 4 screws, thru standoffs.
Those mounting screws adjust belt-tension and can come loose, allowing motor position to rotate.
(The short belt at Y-stepper-motor does not have a tension-spring on it)

One spring on each belt should be enough.
Don't want to Over-Stretch the belts !
Yes, getting them on is Not real easy.
