How to Adjust Belt Tension on the Markforged Industrial Printer

The proper belt tension on the Markforged Industrial Printer is critical for long equipment life and accurate prints. Improper belt tension can lead to premature bearing failure or reduced printing accuracy. It is recommended that you check and adjust the belt tension regularly or every 500 print hours.

What you’ll need:
• 3mm Hex Key
• Mobile device with a Tuner app

This procedure works best in quiet environments as it requires belt resonance to be measured by sound. Recent updates have added a maintenance counter to the printer to remind you regularly to check the belt tension.
