Yes, the printer has two motors and two strain gauges one on each belt. The belt calibration macros has been accessible from the fluidd web interface. I even wrote my own macro that allows me to input a specific value it should attempt to tension the belts too. The default leans hard towards reliability at the expense of print quality (aka too tight) Each belt is like 1.5 meters long and stepper can only handle so much tension before they start creating other issues. At that lenght of belt when properly tensioned it will be uncomfortably loose.
after the update it takes forever to start a print because it wants to cool the plate to 50c to do auto leveling even if you don't have it checked in creality print.
ahh, well if the 3d printer does a bed leveling and getting good consistent first layer, then there's really no need to do the auto leveling every time.
Warning- update with caution. There are many reports of problems with left belt tension errors after the update. We are not sure if there really is a problem or a tolerance error.
@@thetry5063 I did some test prints with the error, including a big overnight job, and they are ok. So I think its a reporting problem rather than severe error.
New day, new belt tension measurement tool - Biqu Belter. Also new firmware......I read that there are mixed opinions of the Belter, but my use case is to measure the X and Y belts, with the firmware showing an error on only one of them. My test is pre-today's firmware. The Belter is showing both belts to be similar of c5.4mm = 7.72 nm which is within the tolerance mentioned in the wiki. So if we ignore how accurate the Belter is or is not, the fact that it measures the same across both belts suggests they are the same tension. But the firmware only reports an error on the one - that maybe limitation of firmware, or just an error in the tolerance of the one belt. Either way, Im going to go with "annoying error message but no issue" given my prints are OK. Now, todays firmware downloaded, lets see what the reboot brings!

ahh, that's good to know. Thanks for the info.

Happy New Year! As someone said, make sure you do a HARD power reboot before updating.
How do you do a HARD power reboot? Have not hear of it yet! Happy New Year!
@@Scratch3DPrinting Turn it off and back on ;)
Hard reboot the printer after the update but before self calibrate!
Great if you read those instructions first :(
how do you do the hard reboot? Is it just turning off the 3d printer and turning it back on?
@@Scratch3DPrinting Yep, turn it off wait a minute or 2 then turn it on. Then do your calibration.
can we write our own RFID tags and how ?
Maybe, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Also there were updates to other printers like the K1 Max though i think they are mostly bug fixes/changes :P
Yes, there the K1 max also gotten an update, I'll do that video soon too. Was just focusing more on the K2 Plus for now.

I'll be the tester for you guys, I'll report if there's any error or problems with the belt tensioning.
i have error on both. reverted.
