    Hey guys, I have the beta version and am having issues with each layer being slightly too far in one direction along the x axis. I've printed both the calibration box and another part and they both followed the same slope of misalignment. I've read that it can sometimes be fixed by tightening the x axis belt but, at least on this version, I can't figure out an effective way of doing this! Does any body have any advice for me? Thank you!

    P.S. I also upgraded to the E3d V6 today and noticed this problem after it was put back together

    It's the beta version that doesn't even have a zip tie to tighten

    My Beta had zip ties. Now it has more. See the thread I linked it has examples of how to add them.

    I think the original ones I had were already tightened down most of the way that is why I cut then off, slipped the belt tighter and added a new set.
