Do: Repeat steps 06.5–06.7 at the other three gantry corners. Coil each belt tail loosely and tape it to its own Y extrusion so nothing gets trodden on during the lift.
Check
Four blocks fitted, all four cutouts pointing outward, four belt tails clamped and coiled. Nothing on this gantry needs a magnet.
What you're looking at
The same stack at the other three corners. The manual leaves the belts out of these drawings, but you now have four long tails hanging off the gantry. A trodden-on belt is a re-cut belt, and there is only ~400 mm spare.
Good stopping point · ~40 min since the last one
all four first belt ends clamped under their gantry corners with the Z bearing blocks on. Gantry still on the bench, belts hanging free — coil each tail and tape it so nothing gets stood on.
