Makerfarm Calibration Thread of Grand Proportions

[AbuMaia]

I used a spring clamp like this

I jokingly thought up a way to communicate exactly how tight the belts should be. But it requires the use of a guitar tuner or something similar. Just pluck the belt and find out what note it plays.

Haha that's a good idea. If you can play any note on your belts, they are probably tight enough.
