Part 9. Voron 0.2 Build - Cross Beams & Belts, Belt Tensioning

This video covers finishing up the X Axis assembly (with the Cross Beams) and then the belts. The belts are one of the more challenging parts of the Voron 0.2 build. I have tried to cover all the insights I have learned through trial and error after building several Voron 0's. I do not go 100% by the manual, but pretty close. I hope some of the tips and tricks I show in the manual help you with your build. A note on tuning the belts: Pano Tuner will help you get in the right ballpark / range for your tension. If your phone or tablet app is having a hard time picking up the frequency, try to listen to the belt as you tune it, and hum the frequency. It is important to be in the range of 110-140 hz. I wouldn't recommend going over that- loosen the tension if you are. The most important thing is getting the tension "equal" so the frequency should be the same on both belts. It is also important to make sure you have no gaps on the back or front of the gantry, when you push it fully back or forward. If you have gaps but the frequencies are the same, you are out of square. You may need to go back to the "Squaring" section of the manual on page 119, and then retension. It is important that both belts are equal tension (frequency) with no gaps. Download Pano Tuner app here: IOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/free-ch...

These extrusions, at the time of the video are Mitsumi. They are powder coated and exactly 15mm x 15mm (the coating adds a small amount of thickness). I purchased a full v0.2 extrusion kit. https://dllpdf.com/v0.2 Tool Recommendations: (not all were mentioned in this intro video, but are used later in my build): **Disclosure: these are AFFILIATE LINKS- costs you nothing extra, and helps my channel Components: SKR Pico: https://amzn.to/3E0lZk5 Stepper online motors: https://amzn.to/3YoN6h4 Mellow Fly SHT 36 V2: https://boxxyprints.com/product/mello... * I planned to use this, but went BTT EBB36 due to a firmware issue.
