Belt slipping on FF Pro, any suggestions to fix this?
Hello
I have a recurring problem on a Flashforge pro and was wondering if anyone has had similar issues and how they fixed it

I think this little plastic piece of mine is warped because no matter how hard I screw it down, the belt always slips out to the left after a few hours printing.
I want to fix this by using super-glue to hold the belt to this plastic part, but if this doesnt work, I am going to ruin the part. I think I need a new one of these little plastic pieces but I dont know if you can even buy them. Is there any fix I can do to make sure the belt stops slipping out? maybe some kind of thin pad between the belt and the clip.
Maybe I just need a new belt? I dont know, I am willing to try a lot of things to fix this. Thanks for any advice people can give.Last edited by someguy; 03-10-2015 at 08:44 PM.

The belts grip well on my two printers. Never slip. Could it be the screw loosening? Might try locktite.
Cyanoacrylic (superglue) can take the temperature but I am not sure it will hold with those materials.
Belt should not be worn at clamp, except for slipping.
Is it possible that you have excessive load on the belt from a worn idler or extruder getting stuck that could be yanking on belt.?

Super Glue is your saviour!!
My X-Carriage belt holder is glued on! I used that super clear cheap $2 bargain shop super glue, because I know it dries SUPER fast and never loses its bond ... its a shame it only comes in those little tiny tubes...
I glued mine and that glue will hold the belt holder strong enough - just give it a good hour before you put the belt back in and apply tension.
My Flashforge came broken in transit when I got it years ago, that whole piece had snapped off, it did not screw on. I superglued it.Hex3D - 3D Printing and Design http://www.hex3d.com

I binned it and made a steel one, not had a problem for 6 months since I did that.
