    X axis moves the carriage (like when you press x- or x + in your slicer). Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with the basic controls of your printer so we are all speaking to the same issues and parts of your machine.

    Buy a continuous belt for both axis. You'll buy a large roll for dirt cheap. You then cut to size. Loop the ends with zip ties. Add a zip tie from the loop to the x carriage. You cannot tension a continuous belt therefore you do not want to replace it with one.

    No hate, but we did get side-tracked with some miscommunication
