Tighten the printer belts
I tried many ways to better tension my long X/Y belts (the short belts are another issue). All other (PLA) printed parts just did fail after a while, probably because they could not stand the stress in the long term. Or they were bulky and hit the sliding blocks.
So the best I found definitely were dumb zip tie tensioners !
Just cut your belts and use as many ties as needed. One of the best thing is that you can tighten the belts further very easily with the help of a small set of pliers.
In the picture on the right, you will see I also need to address the X/Y carriage block plywood cracks before it is too late...
