Parts:
- the other three Z belts · already on the bench
- zip tie, 3×150 mm ×3 · consumable
Do: Repeat steps 06.18–06.21 at each of the remaining three corners. Do them in the same order every time, drive then idler then clamp, so you notice if one comes out different.
Check
Four belts on, four tails tied. Every belt is fully seated on its drive pulley and its idler.
What you're looking at
The other three corners, the same four operations each. Doing them in the same order every time is how you notice a corner that came out different, rather than discovering it as a QGL that will not converge.
Good stopping point · ~30 min since the last one
all four Z belts routed, clamped, trimmed and tied. Belts are hand-even but not tensioned; do not touch the A/B front-idler tension screws (Ch 07's).
