K1 Belt Tension ... How To Creality K1
This is the belt tension recommended by Voron Design for the Gates Belts.
I am not really sure if @Creality3D has other recommendations.
1- Move your X extrusion forwards until the X/Y idler centers are 150 mm from the front idler centers.
2- Pluck the 150mm section of the belt and measure the frequency with one of the apps listed below.
3- Adjust the tensions until the lowest frequency in your plot registers approximately 110Hz.
*The A/B belt tensions can affect each other. Tightening one will also tighten the other. Go back and forth, adjusting each until they are equal.
4- Move your X extrusion back at least a few centimeters and then back again. Re-check your tensions.
110hz equals roughly 2lb of belt tension here, which is on the lower end of the range. This should be a good starting point without stretching your belts too tight.
update : keep the belt tension between 120 to 125hz , I found this to work the best with the K1 and Max
*Apps to use
iOS: Sound Spectrum Analysis
Android: Spectroid
Both iOS and Android: Gates Carbon Drive (use the “motorcycle” option)
This app shows a single frequency rather than a graph. It’s more difficult to get a good reading, but it is easier to interpret the result.
I decided to make a series of videos for the lack of tutorials about the K1 .
I hope this helps
