Hello,
I just finished building the automated build platform for the Thing-o-Matic and everything looks good, but after inserting the rollers I found the conveyor belt stretched very tigtly over the heat spreader PCB beneath it. I can't move the conveyor belt at all without a pair of pliers to turn the rollers manually. I'm afraid the small motor will burn out if it tries to move the conveyor belt as it is… is the conveyor belt supposed to be stretched almost taught or should there be some play? If it is too tight, what might I do to loosen it?
thanks,
CCJ
