Any updates? I was kinda waiting to see what you guys thought before the big release.

Here are some updated pictures of the build, Iām not finished yet (hope to get it done tonight), still need to extend every single wire that is coming from the Hotend sideā¦
@vicious1, Now Iām not sure if I continue the discution here or you should move it to the other thread ā¦
I had the lock piece in 2 off the 3 Z axisā¦ Donāt know how I miss that oneā¦
I replace the Z stop belt on all 3 Z axis added the lock piece back on all of then and Iām still have the same results and actually the one that that did not have the lock piece got worst.
Here is how strait the belt is.
All 3 belt peices toguether
and the resolt
I will print all new stepper blocks tonight with regular PLA and test in the morning, maybe the Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate is the problem.
Before I do that I will file the slot a little bit and see if that change anything

Thatās definitely the least desired result the way that belt piece curled. I donāt think that a reprint of the pieces will be the answer though. A little gentle filing will straighten the piece. From here it looks like your alignment is very much like mine.
I had thought that it might be the MGN12H rails being a bit different from Ryanās, but I think that if that were the case, my heated bed mount plate would have been a little off. I didnāt leave much room to play with those slots for the mounting boltsā¦ Iām sure that it wasnāt as much as those appear to be out at least, and I did verify that the bolts sit very close to the center of the slot when the bed is level.

Agreed. Looks like you got some extra first layer squish. That notch looks to be messing with the belt on yours. It is only there to hold the lock piece. Slice most of it off and I thank you will be good to go.
The rest of the build is looking fantastic though.

If you mount the control board on the back will all your wires reach there? You can mount it inside or outside, depending how clean you get with your wire management. There is plenty of room since the bed is centered.
Here it is after filing the slot.
I can live with that, It looks pretty straight to me even though it is not center. It looks more like @SupraGuy Dan setup now.
lol, too lateā¦
And the Front panelā¦
Just couple more zipties, Print the filament guide and add a RPI (optional) and she is done (hope early afternoon).

That looks really clean. Nice work!
Ryan, I would add the āfile the slotā in the instructions just in case someone has the same problem.

Looks plenty safe to me. I have noted that and not to let the belt be long enough to hit the other side. It triggers well before that point and if it can hit it has the chance of getting bent and missing the next trigger if it sits like that for too long.

I will be keeping an eye on builds to see how this goes for others. I still have no idea why that would happen for you guys. I am planning on printing some of those parts today from the current model to see if I happened to change anything.

Yeah, if you have much (any?) elephantās foot in your print, it could force a bend in the belt. Thatās certainly what looks like what was happening.

I do have a bottom 0.6mm chamfer, so 2-3 layer buffer but looks like it wasnāt enough.
Some of us are a little heavier on the plate than othersā¦ :muffin_top: :love_handles:

You could maybe move that nubbin up a bit, to clear the first layers, Ryan.

Always thinking two steps ahead, Heffe how do you do it? That is a good idea.

I have been mostly quiet in this issue because I really didnāt understand it for a long time. I think shutting up is maybe the key 
I disagree. I have such a narrow focus, you guys have a completely different perspective.
